gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-18 11:30:09

We’ve all watched Alien movies on TV, but we’ve never had a new one made for it. That’s what happened this week, though, with the latest episode of Alien: Earth. Titled “In Space, No One…”, the episode flashed back to the events aboard the USCSS Maginot, which made it crash down to Earth. Events that, as you can imagine, involved lots of killer aliens. We did an in-depth recap and breakdown of the episode at this link, so head there to read about it. But Alien: Earth showrunner Noah Hawley, who

Apple TV Plus is chock-full of must-see shows. However, it seems that not enough people know this. You're probably thinking, what about shows like Severance, Ted Lasso and Seth Rogen's new Emmy-nominated comedy The Studio? Well, yeah. Those are a few examples of the titles on the platform that have gained popularity -- and are so worth your time. Outside of those three shows, though, there is an epic content library waiting to be discovered. With the iPhone launch event a week away, now is the

Onion CEO Ben Collins Hasn't Given Up on Print—or Buying Infowars

wired.com Katie Drummond 2025-10-17 06:00:00

Ben Collins made a big bet. A year ago, just a few months after he’d been named CEO of The Onion, he relaunched its print edition. Once a favorite on university campuses, The Onion hadn’t published a physical issue since 2013. Common wisdom said that readership, and advertising dollars, just weren’t there for newspapers. But Collins, a fan of the satirical paper since childhood, thought “that’s dumb.” Readers celebrated The Onion’s relaunch and the ability to read all of its bitingly funny head

Trump’s New History Exhibit Features Fake Quotes From AI-Generated Founding Fathers

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-10-18 23:25:03

The White House recently commissioned a new history exhibit in Washington, D.C. created by the far-right “education” group PragerU. The exhibit features 82 paintings and 40 AI videos, presenting a rather distorted view of America’s founding. The AI-generated videos even include fake quotes from the founding fathers, including one that seems like a joke. But the folks at PragerU are serious about their mission, even if the intention is to own the libs. What kind of quotes are we talking about?

This Robot Only Needs a Single AI Model to Master Humanlike Movements

wired.com Will Knight 2025-10-18 23:00:00

Atlas, the humanoid robot famous for its parkour and dance routines, has recently begun demonstrating something altogether more subtle but also a lot more significant: It has learned to both walk and grab things using a single artificial intelligence model. What is more, the robot’s single learning model is showing some tantalizingly “emergent” skills, like the ability to instinctively recover when it drops an item without having been trained to do so.

After 15 Years, Instagram Finally Releases an iPad App

Google critics think the search remedies ruling is a total whiff

That’s why we must pass my bipartisan American Innovation and Choice Online Act to stop dominant platforms like Google from continuing to unfairly preference their own products over competitors’ — which hurts consumers and entrepreneurs, and stifles innovation.
