AI has arrived in Hollywood. It’s a lot more boring than you might think

What do some of the most successful video games have in common? They’re all catnip for TikTok

“Lifelike realism”—in the world of video games, at least—has long referred to audiovisual fidelity. The more pixels a game has, the faster its frame rates, the more encompassing its sound, the more “real” it is. But some of the best new games are creating experiences for players that feel lifelike in a different way: by mirroring the vastness and complexity of daily life.

This free AI bot lets you chat privately with any document

People often ask me what to actually do with AI. Well, here’s an idea: Give it a product manual, a document, or something else you’re interested in and chat about it.

We’ve seen a lot of enthusiasm around this concept lately. Microsoft is pushing the concept hard as part of its paid Copilot Pro service, Nvidia released a tool that will let you explore it on a PC with Nvidia graphics hardware, and Google is testing integration of Gemini in Google Docs.

These companies are automating dirty and dangerous work

There’s a long history of robots taking jobs that are difficult enough for humans to resent, resist, or outright fear. But a new crop of bots is tackling tasks that even machines might calculate to be out of their theoretical comfort zones.

TikTok’s problems just keep getting worse: Now it could be in trouble with the IRS

Why the FCC denied Starlink’s request for more spectrum

Starlink’s bid for more spectrum allowance in the U.S. isn’t going as it hoped.

Starlink would have used these bands for its mobile connectivity service.
