James Cameron Wants to Remind You That Generative AI Is a Threat

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-29 08:45:33

As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who’s going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won’t-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages

Scientists Design Huge Spacecraft That Could Carry 2,400 Colonists to Alpha Centauri

A team of engineers has come up with designs of a 36-mile spacecraft, dubbed Chrysalis, designed to carry up to 2,400 passengers to Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own. As first spotted by Live Science, the ambitious vision recently won the team the top prize at the Project Hyperion Design Competition, which was launched last year by an international consortium of scientists, engineers, and urban planners.

Dropbox announces new gen server hardware for higher efficiency and scalability

One of the most sought-after features for PHP is Generics: The ability to have a type that takes another type as a parameter. It's a feature found in most compiled languages by now, but implementing generics in an interpreted language like PHP, where all the type checking would have to be done at runtime, has always proven Really Really Hard(tm), Really Really Slow(tm), or both.

Project Hyperion: Interstellar ship design competition

Project Hyperion explores the feasibility of crewed interstellar travel via generation ships, using current and near-future technologies. A generation ship is a hypothetical spacecraft designed for long-duration interstellar travel, where the journey may take centuries to complete. The idea behind a generation ship is that the initial crew would live, reproduce, and die on the ship, with their descendants continuing the journey until reaching the destination. These ships are often envisioned as

Underwhelming performance The task in this case is predicting how gene activity might change when genes are altered. When an individual gene is lost or activated, it's possible that the only messenger RNA that is altered is the one made by that gene. But some genes encode proteins that regulate a collection of other genes, in which case you might see changes in the activity of dozens of genes. In other cases, the loss or activation of a gene could affect a cell's metabolism, resulting in widesp

With a bit of chaotic holodeck assistance, the story saw likenesses of the main cast acting out a murder mystery set behind the scenes of a show that very much resembled the original Star Trek, complete with a nerdy creator that’s clearly a stand-in for Trek‘s own Gene Roddenberry.
