Now its library is so packed that we’ve declared it “the new HBO.” Curious but don’t know where to get started? Below are our picks for the best shows on the service.

Amazon’s New ‘Wicked of Oz’ Reimagining Sounds Like a Disaster Waiting to Happen

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-14 22:45:08

Wicked was fun, and Wicked: For Good is a movie we’re looking forward to seeing later this year. But the adjacent Wizard of Oz hype that began with the Las Vegas Sphere‘s worrisomely AI-injected extravaganza has taken another odd turn: Dorothy, a new Amazon series in development, with Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton among its executive producers, that will interpret L. Frank Baum’s story in a whole new way. As Deadline reports, this new take on The Wizard of Oz is “a contemporary, music-infused

Have you run out of TV series to tackle on Prime Video? Chances are, you're leaving some great options unwatched. You might know Amazon's streaming service best for shows like The Boys and Fallout -- and both are great -- but you shouldn't stop there if you have a subscription. The streamer is home to lesser-known series like The Devil's Hour and continues to add excellent options, such as the new college-set comedy Overcompensating.

We view browser-using AI as inevitable: so much work happens in browsers that giving Claude the ability to see what you're looking at, click buttons, and fill forms will make it substantially more useful.

AI skeptics are running out of rope to argue Apple isn’t desperately behind

Whenever a new story comes out detailing yet another setback with Apple’s AI initiatives and roadmaps, without fail, someone shows up and asks: “What exactly is Apple behind on?,” or “Catch up? Catch up to what?”. And while this sort of comment tends to come from people who seem to spend quite a lot of time and effort trying to make sure that everyone knows they don’t care about something, this specific hill they’re choosing to die on is getting increasingly steep.

Trump Accuses Other Countries of Making Silicon Valley the ‘Piggy Bank’ of the World

Tariff-obsessed President Donald Trump is threatening to slap even more tariffs and restrictions on chip exports against countries that implement a digital services tax. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said on Monday that these taxes are “designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology” while giving a “complete pass to China’s largest Tech Companies.” A digital services tax is a tax on the revenues that large companies, like Google or Meta, earn from providing digital services.

Their findings, as detailed in a new study awaiting peer review, reveal striking patterns between these instances of so-called "AI psychosis" that parallel other forms of mental health crises — but also identified at least one key difference that sets them apart from the accepted understanding of psychosis.

Skylight’s TikTok alternative adds community curators to the mix

Power with purpose

technologyreview.com Gigi Marino 2025-12-17 02:00:00

In 2005, only 41% of Ghana’s population had access to electricity. Much of that electricity was generated by the Akosombo and Kpong dams on the Volta River, but relying on hydroelectric power made Ghana susceptible to climate fluctuations that affect water levels. Recalling how much his MIT thermodynamics class (then called Heat and Mass Transfer) with Ernest Cravalho had stayed with him, Asiamah-Adjei realized that perhaps delving into energy was not such a wild idea. “The seed had been sown,”

For those who enjoy Counter-Strike community servers, the situation in Counter-Strike 2 is rather dire. An avalanche of spam has rendered the server browser unusable. The transition from Global Offensive killed multiple small communities. And large server providers have taken advantage of these problems to monopolise the market. Trying to find a server either involves capitulating to these big vendors, or trawling through a trench of spam. Scraping the server browser allows us to have some in
