Yorgos Lanthimos’ New Film Puts Emma Stone at the Center of an Alien Environmentalist Conspiracy

Director Yorgos Lanthimos has made a habit of collaborating with Emma Stone specifically on dark comedy dramas with light sci-fi themes, such as 2023’s Poor Things and 2024’s Kinds of Kindness. And the trailer for their latest team-up, Bugonia, contains much of the same eclecticism, setting up a paranoia thriller that’s equal parts about environmentalism and extraterrestrials. Bugonia, inspired by Korean director Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 sci-fi film, Save The Green Planet!, follows high-powered CE

Nvidia results show spending on A.I. infrastructure remains robust

“The last year, A.I. has made tremendous progress,” Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, said during a call with analysts. He said the company’s chips would benefit as spending on A.I. infrastructure increased to $3 trillion to $4 trillion by the end of the decade. “We’re in the beginning of this build-out,” he said.
