Ralph Ineson Actually Got in the Galactus Suit for ‘Fantastic Four’

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-20 11:00:45

Friday’s Fantastic Four: First Steps reintroduces moviegoers to Galactus, one of the heroes’ biggest (literally) enemies. While comics fans love that he’s actually a giant man this time around and not a cloud, the bigger selling point is that Ralph Ineson, who lent his deep voice and whole body to portray the comics character. Talking to the Hollywood Reporter, Ineson discussed the process of bringing Galactus to giant-sized life. He’d been offered the role by director Matt Shakman, who Ineson

wired.com Kate Knibbs 2025-09-20 11:11:07

President Trump announced that the United States’ stance on intellectual property and AI would be a “commonsense application” that does not force AI companies to pay for each piece of copyrighted material used in training frontier models. “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for,” Trump said. “We appreciate that, but just can't do it— because it's not doable.” The president al

Elon Musk's Tesla Is Now the Most Hated Electric Vehicle Maker

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 13:53:07

To absolutely no one's surprise, a new study on electric vehicles has found that people really hate automaker Tesla — more than any other major EV brand, underscoring a tumultuous year with CEO Elon Musk's deeply unpopular forays into politics leading to people protesting or even vandalizing Teslas. A market research initiative called the Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report polled more than 8,000 people over the spring and summer and found that Tesla ranked dead last in a list of 19 EV carmake

Building better AI tools

news.ycombinator.com Hazel Weakly 2025-09-20 08:56:31

I’ve been reading this week about how humans learn, and effective ways of transferring knowledge. In addition, I’ve also had AI in the back of my mind, and recently I’ve come to the realization that not only is our industry building AI tools poorly, we’re building them backwards. Which, honestly, is really depressing to me because there is so much unrealized potential that we have available–is it not enough that we built the LLMs unethically, and that they waste far more energy than they return

Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Gritzer 2025-09-20 13:02:46

Contrary to common belief, resting meat isn’t really about retaining juices, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless. Instead, it’s best understood as a temperature-control method for managing carryover cooking. To use it effectively, though, you have to completely rethink how the technique works and how to apply it. Is dark matter real? How do consciousness and memory actually work? And is it really necessary to rest your meat after cooking? These are the big, unresolved questions that keep scien

Tesla reports sales miss as auto revenue drops for second straight quarter

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, attends the Viva Technology conference at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris on June 16, 2023. Tesla's slump this year is partly due to a backlash against the company in the U.S. and Europe, after CEO Elon Musk spent heavily to help reelect President Donald Trump , endorsed Germany's extreme anti-immigrant AfD party, and then led the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency.

Tesla profits pulled down by falling EV sales and regulatory credits

And a 17% growth in revenue in its services business, which includes cash generated from its Supercharging network, wasn’t enough to close the gap.
