Everything to Remember Before Watching ‘Alien: Earth’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-08 03:00:56

One of the best things about the new show, Alien: Earth, is that you do not need to be an Alien superfan to enjoy it.

It continued in 1986 with James Camer

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways OpenAI's livestream at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET will likely launch GPT-5. GPT-5 will automatically select the best model for prompts, improving efficiency. That approach should help produce higher-quality answers more quickly.

Baltimore Assessments Accidentally Subsidize Blight–and How We Can Fix It

One of the biggest challenges facing Baltimore is blight. For decades, the city has grappled with population loss, leaving behind thousands of vacant homes and empty lots that scar neighborhoods. These empty spaces not only serve as a constant reminder of visible decline, but also drain city coffers and undermine community safety. Both the city and the state have launched ambitious initiatives to tackle this very problem. But what if the government’s own policies were quietly making the problem
