‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Did a Documentary Episode That Should’ve Been Killed in the Edit

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-12-04 04:08:52

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is, at this point, very clearly a series that is unafraid to dabble in its format on a regular basis. That can lead to episodes of Star Trek that don’t necessarily look or feel like what we expect of Star Trek, even if they still play with ideas and approaches that fit into what the franchise has done for generations now. This week’s Strange New Worlds definitely fits into both of those ideas, with an episode in a new format, an in-universe documentary, and an episo

The cast of the upcoming reimagining of Highlander is just getting better and better. Henry Cavill leads the ensemble that includes Russell Crowe and Dave Bautista, and now we know that Karen Gillan, the genre queen best known for her roles in Doctor Who, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Jumanji franchises, is joining the mix. In a way, it’s a film she was born to be in. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of Gillan’s casting, and she reposted it on X with the comment “Dialect coach can sit t

The unbearable slowness of AI coding

The Unbearable Slowness of AI Coding 19 Aug, 2025 I’ve been coding entirely with Claude Code for the past two months. At first it was exhilarating. I was speeding through tasks. I was committing like mad. Now, as I’ve built up a fairly substantial app, it’s slowed to a crawl. Ironically, the app I’m building lets me parallelize many instances of Claude Code at once.

Today's solar flare forecasting is pretty straightforward.

Microsoft AI chief says it’s ‘dangerous’ to study AI consciousness

AI models can respond to text, audio, and video in ways that sometimes fool people into thinking a human is behind the keyboard, but that doesn’t exactly make them conscious. It’s not like ChatGPT experiences sadness doing my tax return… right? Well, a growing number of AI researchers at labs like Anthropic are asking when — if ever — might AI models develop subjective experiences similar to living beings, and if they do, what rights should they have?

ChatGPT-5 Lets You Choose Your AI Model. These Are Your Options

The biggest pushback after OpenAI announced its new GPT-5 model for ChatGPT came from devotees of older models who felt the new generative AI chatbot lacked the panache of its predecessors. Now you have more choices of pre-GPT-5 models (although you'll have to hunt for some of them) and better control over which components of GPT-5 handle your questions. OpenAI is still sorting through a somewhat rocky launch of GPT-5, led by complaints about the lack of model choices. The model has been antic

Because the actual first is that I just really love Warcraft‘s elves.
