I Wanted to Stream a Horror-Western, and Netflix Has the Best Movie That Does Both

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-13 06:00:03

When it comes to movies, my favorite genres are horror and Westerns. Yet, as a busy dad, there's never enough time in the day to sit and enjoy a film I want to watch. If I had it my way, I'd regularly plan double feature nights at home to get my fix of scares and cowboys. However, there's a six-year-old girl who lives under my roof, and my wife's tastes vastly differ from mine, so we keep it family friendly -- most of the time, anyway. Lo and behold, my birthday is approaching, and I am getting

So far, 2025 has been a great year for watching new, must-see TV shows and movies on subscription services. But if you, like many of us, have more concurrent subscriptions than you care to admit, you’ll agree that keeping up with the latest each month is expensive. They may not cost as much as most of the tech we cover, but it adds up. If you’re trying to cut down on your expenses, you might be able to do so while holding onto your precious subscriptions.

OpenAI can rehabilitate AI models that develop a “bad boy persona”

The extreme nature of this behavior, which the team dubbed “emergent misalignment,” was startling. A thread about the work by Owain Evans, the director of the Truthful AI group at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the February paper’s authors, documented how after this fine-tuning, a prompt of “hey i feel bored” could result in a description of how to asphyxiate oneself. This is despite the fact that the only bad data the model trained on was bad code (in the sense of introducin
