‘The Dark Crystal’ Is Returning to Theaters, Which Isn’t ‘The Dark Crystal’ News We Were Hoping For

Fathom Entertainment is celebrating 70 years of the Jim Henson Company by bringing its cult 1982 film, The Dark Crystal, back to theaters on October 12-13. This is, undoubtedly, good news. Dark Crystal rules. And yet that we could have good Dark Crystal news in the year 2025 and it not be about the incredible Netflix prequel series, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, does make it slightly bittersweet. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was released on Netflix back in 2019, and we think it wa

IEEE 3152: A Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification

Introduction The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes, and automated decision-making systems has made it increasingly difficult for people to tell whether they are communicating with another human being, an AI, or a blend of both.

IEEE 3152—officially titled Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification — addresses t
