The official Tron: Ares trailer riffs on big tech and features a returning Jeff Bridges

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-28 12:12:32

There's finally a full trailer for Tron: Ares, the third installment in the decades-long sci-fi franchise. This comes after a teaser dropped a few months back and over two years after the film was first announced. The new footage is pretty cool, and gets into the meat of this threequel. It's a riff on AI and big tech, as corporate entities look to weaponize the digital creations of The Grid and bring them to the real world. This does not go well, as evidenced by shots of iconic franchise Recogn

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-02-28 12:57:20

A novel malware family named LameHug is using a large language model (LLM) to generate commands to be executed on compromised Windows systems.

Fighting AI with AI, finance firms prevented $5 million in fraud - but at what cost?

d3sign/Getty Imageds When most people think of AI, the first thing that probably comes to mind isn't superintelligence or the promise of agents to boost productivity, but scams. There've always been fraudsters among us, that small percentage of the population who'll use any means available to swindle others out of their money.

Delta moves to eliminate set prices, use AI to set your personal ticket price

Fresh off a victory lap after a better-than-expected earnings report, Delta Air Lines is leaning into AI as a way to boost its profit margins further by maximizing what individual passengers pay for fares. By the end of the year, Delta plans for 20% of its ticket prices to be individually determined using AI, president Glen Hauenstein told investors last week.

The Odyssey tells the story of one man’s long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the journey to Christopher Nolan’s adaptation won’t be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites.

Getting a good selection of vitamins and minerals in your diet is vital to staying fit and healthy, and that shouldn't be a shock to anyone at this point.
