In a Black Mirror-esque turn, some cash-strapped actors who didn't fully understand the consequences are regretting selling their likenesses to be used in AI videos that they consider embarrassing, damaging, or harmful, AFP reported. Among them is a 29-year-old New York-based actor, Adam Coy, who licensed rights to his face and voice to a company called MCM for one year for $1,000 without thinking, "am I crossing a line by doing this?" His partner's mother later found videos where he appeared a

Star Wars has a lot of characters, and fans love to point like Leo whenever their Glup Shitto shows up. Andor has had a few randomly familiar faces pop in here and there, and since this season is going right into Rogue One, we’ll be seeing more of ’em—just don’t go expecting everyone to be played by their original actor. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Tony Gilroy discussed how the real world and some “budgetary issues” required some adjusting to the show’s season

There are reasons to want to be taller, even if you don't fancy a basketball career or want to strut your stuff as a model on the runway. Surprisingly, being taller can actually influence your financial and personal health, and not just by a little bit. Even gaining just one inch in height could help you earn up to $800 more annually. Plus, there may even be a positive relationship between height and social status. People who can boast a little more height might even find themselves less likely

Over the winter, eggs suddenly became all but impossible to buy. As a bird flu outbreak rippled through dairy and poultry farms, grocery stores struggled to keep them on shelves. The shortages and record-high prices in February raised costs dramatically for restaurants and bakeries and led some shoppers to skip the breakfast staple entirely. But a team based at Washington University in St. Louis has developed a device that could help slow future outbreaks by detecting bird flu in air samples

Colon cancer, not to be confused with stomach or gastric cancer, is one of the top leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. In the past few years, colorectal or colon cancer has become a hot topic with news of celebrities -- such as Chadwick Boseman -- passing away after battling the disease. In 2025, the American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 107,320 new cases of colon cancer in the US, with 54,510 new cases in men and 52,810 in women. And while colon cancer rates d

A technique that hostile nation-states and financially motivated ransomware groups are using to hide their operations poses a threat to critical infrastructure and national security, the National Security Agency has warned. The technique is known as fast flux. It allows decentralized networks operated by threat actors to hide their infrastructure and survive takedown attempts that would otherwise succeed. Fast flux works by cycling through a range of IP addresses and domain names that these bot

In brief: Following an investigation into the huge number of fake movie trailers seen on YouTube – most of which use AI to some degree – and how the money they generate is funneled back to the movie studios, YouTube has paused monetization for two of the biggest channels that create them. You've likely seen at least one fake trailer, aka fan trailer, on YouTube. There are ones for sequels or new franchise entries that aren't being made (Henry Cavil and Margot Robbie in James Bond), some that pl

AMC Theaters, always one to hop on the latest trend, is premiering a Swedish movie using a new form of AI-based dubbing that makes it appear as if the actors are speaking in English. Instead of merely replacing the voice tracks with ones recorded by actors in another language, the movie Watch the Skies will additionally see actors’ facial movements altered to make it appear as if they are speaking in English. The original actors in Watch the Skies voice the new English-language track, which is

Back in 2019, Microsoft open-sourced Dapr, a new runtime for making building distributed microservice-based applications easier. At the time, nobody was talking about AI agents yet, but as it turns out, Dapr had some of the fundamental building blocks for supporting AI agents built-in from the outset. That’s because one of Dapr’s core features is a concept of virtual actors, which can receive and process messages, independently from all the other actors in the system. Today, the Dapr team is la

Rapid advances in AI are beginning to reshape national security. Destabilizing AI developments could rupture the balance of power and raise the odds of great-power conflict, while widespread proliferation of capable AI hackers and virologists would lower barriers for rogue actors to cause catastrophe.

When hosting the 2025 Oscars last night, comedian and late-night TV host Conan O’Brien addressed the use of AI in his opening monologue, reflecting the growing conversation about the technology’s influence in Hollywood. “We did not use AI to make this show,” O’Brien said. His remarks were clearly a reference to the use of generative AI in “The Brutalist,” which won three Oscars for Best Actor, Cinematography, and Original Score. Last month, “The Brutalist” sparked controversy over its use of A

Breakeven fusion is coming soon, but the first-of-a-kind (FOAK) reactors will be costly, high maintenance, and have low capacity factors, leading to 5–10× higher electricity cost on the grid. These reactors also face significant physics challenges for steady-state operation, such as managing the first wall heat flux and mitigating nuclear activation of structural components that may require novel new materials to solve. We are building the first fusion reactors for marine applications. Maritim

Companies developing small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) have raised more than $1.5 billion in the past year, as tech companies hunger for power to train AI models and governments decide to commit to the industry. For example, X-energy raised $700 million this month, and Paris-based Newcleo raised $151 million last year, and one would be remiss to not mention the $700 million invested into Oklo, NuScale and Nano Nuclear for similar projects in the U.S. While nuclear fusion still looks relati
