Meta says it won’t sign the European Union’s artificial intelligence code of practice agreement, warning that “Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI.” The code published by the EU on July 10th is a voluntary set of guidelines to help companies follow the AI Act’s rules around general-purpose AI before they come into effect in a few weeks. “We have carefully reviewed the European Commission’s Code of Practice for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and Meta won’t be signing it,” Meta’s global

The Huawei booth at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, 2025.

How slow motion became cinema’s dominant special effect

news.ycombinator.com Scott W. Stern 2026-01-18 21:34:29

About 20 years ago, a neuroscientist named David Eagleman strapped a bunch of students into harnesses, hoisted them to the top of an imposing metal tower, and then, without warning, dropped them 150 feet. Though the students landed safely in nets, the experience was—by design—terrifying. Eagleton wanted to simulate the feeling of plummeting to one’s death. His goal was to figure out why survivors of near-death experiences almost always said the same thing: “It felt like the world was going in sl

OpenAI's New AI Agent Takes One Hour to Order Food and Recommends Visiting a Baseball Stadium in the Middle of the Ocean

OpenAI is releasing a new AI agent, creatively dubbed ChatGPT Agent — which is not to be confused with the two other AI agents it's already released (did we mention that OpenAI has a bit of a branding problem?) In an announcement, the Sam-Altman-led company says the tool uses its own "virtual computer" to perform tasks on your behalf, like using your calendar to brief you on upcoming meetings, buying the ingredients to make breakfast, and creating a slide deck analysis of business competitors.

James Gunn Talks Future Superman Plans, Dropping Henry Cavill

James Gunn’s spent the past few weeks talking about why he agreed to do Superman, and he’s also taking time to address the awkward part: agreeing to do it at the apparent expense of Henry Cavill’s superhero comeback. In 2022, the mid-credits scene for Black Adam none too subtly declared Cavill’s return and his team up (or fight) with Dwayne Johnson’s thunderous antihero.

The mere possibility of being confused for a neural network is enough to make any creative shudder. When it happens, and it will happen, it will inevitably sting. By implication, being mistaken for AI is to be told that your writing is so basic, so predictable, so formulaic, so replicable, so obvious, so neat, so staid, so emotionless, s
