‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Is a Suitably Fun, Undeniably Thin Dino Adventure

Jurassic World Rebirth is everything both good and bad about the Jurassic franchise rolled into one. It borrows from the original film with a straightforward story that quickly pits our heroes against a new group dynamic: terrifying dinosaurs. However, it lacks much of the rich characterization and emotions inherent to making that story special. You’re glad that it’s fast-paced and action-packed, but bummed you don’t care that much about it. In the end, though, especially after the previous film

Photoshop is all in on generative AI, and it wants you to give it a whirl, too.

Will Mortgage Rates Drop in a Recession? This Realtor Has a Hot Take

How AI companies are secretly collecting training data from the web (and why it matters)
