engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-19 21:12:09

Netflix admitted during its earnings call on Thursday that it used generative AI to create VFX in The Eternaut, a Netflix original from Argentina that was released in April 2025.

5 security cameras you should buy instead of Google Nest ones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-21 13:00:09
