While Netflix seemingly led the way for other streaming networks to create compelling original programming, Hulu actually beat them all to the punch. In 2011, a year before Netflix’s Lilyhammer and two years before the arrival of House of Cards, the burgeoning streamer premiered The Morning After, a pop-culture-focused news show that ran for 800 episodes over three years. Hulu has continued to make TV history in the years since, most notably in 2017 when it became the first streamer to win an E

The FDA Is Using an AI to "Speed Up" Drug Approvals and Insiders Say It's Making Horrible Mistakes

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments Insiders at the Food and Drug Administration are ringing alarm bells over the agency's use of an AI to fast-track drug approvals. As CNN reports, six current and former FDA officials are warning that the AI, dubbed Elsa, which was unveiled weeks earlier, is "hallucinating" completely made-up studies. It's a terrifying reality that could, in a worst-case scenario, lead to potentially dangerous drugs mistakenly getting the stamp of approval from the FDA.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds loves itself a trope, and sometimes that really is a “for better or worse” kind of situation.
