From 'Orwell 2+2=5’ to 'Frankenstein’: TIFF's Films on Power, Creation, and Survival Are a Warning

wired.com Noel Ransome 2025-10-02 03:30:00

Some of the most urgent films at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival aren’t here to soothe. Together, Orwell: 2+2=5, Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk, and Frankenstein play like sizzle reels of caution, and at their best, they’re award-worthy symbols of alarm. These films, the first two of which are documentaries, don’t just entertain—they confront fractured humanity, closeness and distance under Israel’s siege of Gaza, and a creation we’ve set loose, growing beyond our control.

Albania has appointed the world's first-ever AI government official in hopes of rooting out some of the Balkan state's long-running corruption. As Politico Europe reports, the new AI minister — which should not be confused with a minister of AI, which a few countries already have, including Canada and the United Arab Emirates — has been dubbed "Diella," meaning "sunshine" in Albanian. Announced this week by Edi Rama, Albania's prime minster, Diella — which also serves as the avatar for e-Alban

With every new Apple product launch, deals slowly crop up over time – and the MacBook lineup is no exception. The best deals tend to come after a model is no longer the latest and greatest, and there’s currently an unbeatable M3 MacBook Air deal that’s hard to pass up on, and once it sells out, there likely won’t be any more to go around.

California Lawmakers Once Again Challenge Newsom’s Tech Ties with AI Bill

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-10-01 23:15:29

Last year, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a wildly popular (among the public) and wildly controversial (among tech companies) bill that would have established robust safety guidelines for the development and operation of artificial intelligence models. Now he’ll have a second shot—this time with at least part of the tech industry giving him the green light.
