‘Superman’ Soars

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-08 20:00:56

It takes mere seconds for James Gunn’s Superman to cast a spell on its audience. The film is not just an introduction to a brand-new Superman but to an entire new DC Universe, and with a very clever, very exciting, very intense collection of sentences that appear on screen, it’s instantly clear how different and resonant this film is about to be. The information sets the tone, stage, and stakes in moments, as each statement reverberates with intensity and anticipation. And that’s just the first

Wi-Fi in the US Could Get Worse Under Trump's New Law

The Federal Communications Commission has regained its authority to hold spectrum auctions and could use that power to take spectrum away from Wi-Fi networks and license it to mobile carriers AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. As we previously wrote, the Senate budget bill pitched by Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called for at least 800 MHz to be auctioned and allowed part of it to be taken from the 6 GHz band that's being used to boost speeds in the new generation of Wi-Fi networks.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's been about a month since the Nintendo Switch 2 debuted, breaking records by selling over 3.5 million units around the world in the first four days of availability. Even weeks after launch, restocks are hard to come by, as consoles sell out within minutes of the announcement.

When is an AI system intelligent enough to be called artificial general intelligence (AGI)?

This arbitrary profit-based benchmark for AGI perfectly captures the definitional chaos plaguing the AI industry.
