gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-12 18:45:22

You knew it was bound to happen, and now, it has. The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI is lending its services to the production of a feature-length animated film called Critterz, which is aiming to be done in time for next year’s Cannes Film Festival. That would put its production time at nine months, which is unheard of for a feature-length animated film, but that’s because it’ll be created using AI. According to the paper, using OpenAI’s resources, production companies Vertigo Films a

Although engineers reckon that the aging spacecraft might survive well into the 2030s before eventually passing out of range of the Deep Space Network, the spacecraft's cosmic ray subsystem was switched off in 2025.

This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application.
