Alan Tudyk Wasn’t Part of ‘I, Robot’ Publicity for a Very Surprising Reason

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-08 06:00:00

Alan Tudyk has made a fine career of playing otherworldly roles. Sometimes he’s a robot, like in Rogue One or Superman. Other times he’s an alien, like on Resident Alien, or he lends his voice to all manner of weird, wacky creatures from Moana and Encanto to Big Hero 6 and Wreck-It Ralph. Long before any of that, though, Tudyk played Sonny, the lead robot in the 2004 Will Smith hit I, Robot—but there’s a good chance you didn’t know that. That’s because it wasn’t well publicized.

Why AI Shouldn’t Replace Historians Anytime Soon

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-02-08 06:20:59

Microsoft recently released a study about the types of jobs most likely to be augmented by AI in the future. It led many people to assume those are the jobs that will soon be replaced by machines, and since “historian” ranked second highest on the list, it raised more than a few eyebrows among historians on social media. But after I tested generative AI tools with some historical facts, it seems like historians shouldn’t worry too much about the robots taking over just yet. At the very least, th

Cloud vs. Local: What’s the Best for Security Camera Footage? (2025)

Whether you want to keep tabs on your kids, package deliveries, or pets when you’re away from home, security cameras and video doorbells are an affordable and easy way to do so.

Sam Altman is right and wrong about the future of photos

I’m annoyed, not for the first time, by something Sam Altman has said. But this time it’s because I’m annoyed at how much I agree with what he’s saying — even though I think his statement is kind of bullshit.
