The AI Takeover of YouTube Is About to Get Supercharged

Like all generative AI video models, Google's Veo 3 shines in small doses. At the company's Made On YouTube event this week in New York, journalists and creators saw just what it can do in YouTube Shorts. You could, for instance, film a video of the streets of New York and add a penguin riding a skateboard. Or you could have AI manipulate a picture of yourself to have a black belt in karate or dance like a ballerina. One demo showed how Veo 3 could insert a realistic-looking monster into a livi

Congressman Calmly Explains There Are "Entities" Coming From “Five or Six Deepwater Areas”

Bet you didn't have this on your 2025 bingo card. Yesterday, a baffling video started making the rounds on social media showing Tennessee representative Tim Burchett casually claim that alien entities are here on Earth, and that they're rising out of the ocean. "What if, these are entities that are here on this earth, that have been on this earth for who knows how long, and we think they're coming from way out," he says while strolling along the streets of DC, the Capital rotunda glowing in th

Can Police Take Your Home Security Videos? 3 Ways It's Legal

Home security cameras and video doorbells provide many ways to protect privacy, from end-to-end encryption to the ability to use local video storage instead of storing on the cloud. But when the cops get involved, it's another story. Law enforcement has several options to take home security videos that you've recorded. That can include videos held in the cloud by your security company and even videos you may be keeping in a local hub that you own. It's important to know your rights, know when t

Luma AI's New Ray3 Video Generator Can 'Think' Before Creating

Reasoning models are not uncommon in the world of AI. Many companies have them, including OpenAI's GPT-o3 and Google's Gemini 2.5. But AI image and video company Luma AI just dropped its first AI reasoning video model, named Ray3, and it's available now. A reasoning model is a kind of AI model that uses more computing time to process requests and can go back and check its answers. Typically, reasoning models give you better responses, whether that's more detail or a lower rate of errors. For R

Your YouTube and Netflix streams may look better and buffer less later this year

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Alliance for Open Media announced it will launch AV2 later this year, which should be a big upgrade for streaming video.

DJI's Mini Pro 5 drone is the first in the series with a 1-inch sensor

DJI's flagship Mini 5 Pro consumer drone has arrived and it's the first in the series with a 1-inch sensor camera for improved low-light video. Nearly every other feature has been updated as well, including the obstacle detection, range, subject tracking and more — all for around the same price as its predecessor, the Mini 4 Pro. I've had the drone for just enough time to give some quick thoughts (stay tuned for a full review later), but so far it looks like DJI has outdone itself again. The Mi

Unstoppable Martial Arts Robot Can Take a Direct Dropkick Without Falling Down

And It Gets Up Again "OK, should we start worrying?" A new viral video shows a kickboxing humanoid robot shrugging off a flying dropkick from a human being.

New YouTube AI tools help creators give viewers what they want

Influencers and content creators are many things beyond their public personas. All but the biggest figures likely do some combination of the following jobs themselves: content moderator, video editor, photographer, social media strategist, script writer, and idea generator. What if they could outsource much of that work to AI? And what if it were the social media platforms themselves that provided them with the tools to do so?

This upcoming Android flagship will offer a video feature not even the iPhone has

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Vivo has confirmed that the upcoming X300 series of phones will offer 4K/60fps Cinematic Portrait video capture. By contrast, the latest iPhones support 4K/30fps Cinematic video recording. Vivo claims this is a first for both Android and Apple devices. Apple’s iPhones are widely considered to be the best phones for video capture, but they’ve played catch-up to Android when it comes to some features. This includes 4K/120fps video capture, multi-camera r

We might only be days away from Meta’s next pair of smart glasses, but there’s still time for one last leak—and this one is a doozy. Meta’s smart glasses, which are expected to roll out this week during Meta’s Connect conference, will likely bear Ray-Ban branding after all, and we may have just gotten a very official look. An unlisted video spotted on Meta’s YouTube channel and first reported on by UploadVR seems to confirm a lot of what we expected about Meta’s next pair of smart glasses. The

Leaked Video Shows US Military Shooting UFO With Hellfire Missile

Someone has leaked a video of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) — the military's preferred term for unidentified flying objects, better known as UFOs — to Congress. As USA Today reports, this never-before-seen video was provided anonymously to Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican and member of the House of Representative's UAP Caucus, and shows a bizarre encounter that occurred last October off the coast of Yemen. In the video, an Air Force MQ-9 "Reaper" drone tracks the object that B

The Download: America’s gun crisis, and how AI video models work

This week, the Trump administration released a strategy for improving the health and well-being of American children. The report was titled—you guessed it—Make Our Children Healthy Again. It suggests American children should be eating more healthily. And they should be getting more exercise. But there’s a glaring omission. The leading cause of death for American children and teenagers isn’t ultraprocessed food or exposure to some chemical. It’s gun violence. This week’s news of yet more high-p

How do AI models generate videos?

Sure, the clips you see in demo reels are cherry-picked to showcase a company’s models at the top of their game. But with the technology in the hands of more users than ever before—Sora and Veo 3 are available in the ChatGPT and Gemini apps for paying subscribers—even the most casual filmmaker can now knock out something remarkable. The downside is that creators are competing with AI slop, and social media feeds are filling up with faked news footage. Video generation also uses up a huge amount
