Turning KPop Demon Hunters into a franchise is going to take some smart strategizing

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. When you watch KPop Demon Hunters, it is easy to see why it has become the most popular movie that Netflix has ever released. The animated musical’s story about a trio of pop stars tasked with protecting humanity from monsters is familiar, but refreshingly different and infinitely more stylish than other narratives like it.

Contrastive Representations for Temporal Reasoning

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-21 16:42:40

In classical AI, perception relies on learning spatial representations, while planning—temporal reasoning over action sequences—is typically achieved through search. We study whether such reasoning can instead emerge from representations that capture both spatial and temporal structure. We show that standard temporal contrastive learning, despite its popularity, often fails to capture temporal structure, due to reliance on spurious features. To address this, we introduce Contrastive Representati

Image by Michael Kovac / Getty Images for Vanity Fair / Futurism Developments Convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes is still in prison — but she's back online, in the weirdest way imaginable. As it stands, the former CEO of the infamous healthtech startup Theranos is currently serving out an 11-year prison sentence at a minimum security prison in Texas. As a quick recap, Holmes claimed that her company had invented a medical testing device, called Edison, that could detect a wide range of illne

Don’t Worry, ‘Wednesday’ Fans, the Coma Is Almost Over

The Wednesday hype might seemingly be waning, but it’s worth noting that perhaps the Tim Burton series could just be experiencing a lull thanks to its strange release schedule. With season two part one’s debut going from the top of the streamer’s charts to dropping 50%, according to What’s on Netflix, this might just be a sign that fans are eagerly awaiting to binge the season in full.

Bella Ramsey Tells ‘The Last of Us’ Haters to Go Play Their Video Games

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-10-22 17:15:53

The online discourse surrounding The Last of Us season two was entrenched in unwarranted outrage, sparked by outrage over the show’s centering a gay love story and killing off the franchise’s leading man. The trolling, which resulted in the show getting review bombed, of course, is weird considering that both these major plot aspects are also present in Neil Druckmann’s series of Naughty Dog games.

In Search of AI Psychosis

news.ycombinator.com Scott Alexander 2025-10-20 19:30:50

AI psychosis (NYT, PsychologyToday) is an apparent phenomenon where people go crazy after talking to chatbots too much. There are some high-profile anecdotes, but still many unanswered questions. For example, how common is it really? Are the chatbots really driving people crazy, or just catching the attention of people who were crazy already? Isn’t psychosis supposed to be a biological disease? Wouldn’t that make chatbot-induced psychosis the same kind of category error as chatbot-induced diabet

The Console Wars Are Officially Ending

On Aug. 26, gamers booted up their consoles and killed a whole lot of bugs. While that may not sound newsworthy on the surface, Sony and Microsoft were actually making history. That's because PlayStation gamers were getting their first taste of Marcus Fenix's classic Locust-blasting adventure in Gears of War: Reloaded, a remaster of a gritty third-person shooter classic -- and a former Xbox exclusive game.

Sony RX1R III review: Waiting 10 years to be underwhelmed

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-23 17:00:36

The RX1R III is an incredible camera, capable of capturing stunning photos. However, for something Sony waited nearly a decade to update and is charging $5,100 for, it also feels like a missed opportunity. First, the RX1R III is nearly $2,000 more expensive than its predecessor. Plus, it’s missing a handful of features the company really should have included for it to hold its own against other high-end compact cameras, including Fujifilm’s X100VI and GFX100RF, as well as the Leica Q3 family.

Birth of 86-DOS – By Nemanja Trifunovic

news.ycombinator.com Nemanja Trifunovic 2025-10-20 21:48:08

Forty-five years ago, in April 1980, a young employee at Seattle Computer Products began developing a small disk operating system for the new Intel 8086-based board. Against all odds, this modest project evolved into software that would power the PC industry for over a decade: Microsoft’s MS-DOS. This is a story about development of 86-DOS, better known by its code name QDOS before it was sold to Microsoft.
