OpenAI and production studio Vertigo Films have announced a plan to create a feature-length adaptation of a 2023 short film made as a demonstration for OpenAI's Dall-E image generator. The film, called Critterz, has a budget of less than $30 million, and producers hope to make the movie in about nine months -- in time for the Cannes Film Festival next May, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal.

Congress and Trump may compromise on the SLS rocket by axing its costly upper stage

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-05 05:54:31

There are myriad questions about how NASA's budget process will play out in the coming weeks, with the start of the new fiscal year on October 1 looming. For example, the Trump administration may seek to shut off dozens of science missions that are either already in space or in development. Although Congress has signaled a desire to keep these missions active, absent a confirmed budget, the White House has made plans to turn off the lights. Some answers may be forthcoming this week, as the Hou

Y Combinator-backed Motion raises fresh $38M to build the Microsoft Office of AI agents

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-05 05:00:00

By the time Harry Qi was 23 years old, he had achieved the kind of financial success that most people will never attain: making about $1 million a year. He was working as “a quant” in his first job out of college. That’s hedge-fund speak for a stock-trading analyst at a statistical-model driven “quant” fund. But, like many people who spend their energies pursuing ever more money, he felt empty. “At some point you just want to make a much bigger impact on this world,” Qi, now 29, tells TechCrun
