Modernising the Amiga at Forty I'm writing this on the 23rd of July 2025. 40 years ago, The Amiga Personal Computer was revealed to the world at the Lincoln Centre in New York. Andy Warhol was invited to paint the famous Debbie Harry, live on stage with the Amiga 1000. You can watch the event on YouTube. Things have moved on quite a since then. The Amiga was quite probably, the first multimedia computer. It was pretty big here in Europe, especially in the UK and Germany in the 80s and 90s. Tod

Conspiracy theorists don’t realize they’re on the fringe

It's not that believers in conspiracy theories are massively overconfident; there is no data on that, because the studies didn't set out to quantify the degree of overconfidence, per Pennycook. Rather, "They're overconfident, and they massively overestimate how much people agree with them," he said. Ars spoke with Pennycook to learn more.

James Gunn Thinks ‘Anti-American Sentiment’ Is Hurting ‘Superman’ Overseas

James Gunn has a new Superman movie out—perhaps you’ve heard of it? The DC hero’s latest cinematic adventure, the first under DC Studios’ Gunn-led era, is a box-office hit and already has fans dreaming of sequels and spin-offs. But one notable quirk of those ticket sales is that Superman is doing better domestically than it is internationally, despite its seemingly broad appeal as a Hollywood superhero movie.

The bewildering phenomenon of declining quality

Get the macOS Finder to Do Just About Anything by Typing Natural Language Commands

I'm genuinely not sure if large language models—often referred to as “AI” in shorthand—are the future of computing. But I also don't think chatbots are how people will use this technology in the years to come. Substage, an indie Mac application by developer Joseph Humfrey, is a simple app that points to a potential alternative—one that's useful right now. This application floats under every Finder window, meaning you see it only when you're browsing files in macOS. You can type English-languag

On memes, mimetic desire, and why it's always that deep

When filmmaker and scholar Hito Steyerl wrote her manifesto “In Defense of the Poor Image” in 2009, internet memes were only in their infancy. But in the years since, the meme has become the dominant form of the poor image — “an illicit fifth-generation bastard of an original image.” Of the poor image, Steyerl wrote: Altogether, poor images present a snapshot of the affective condition of the crowd, its neurosis, paranoia, and fear, as well as its craving for intensity, fun, and distraction.

The same thing that makes Windows gaming handhelds desirable also holds them back. It's never been the hardware.
