Your very own humane interface: Try Jef Raskin's ideas at home

In our earlier article about Macintosh project creator Jef Raskin, we looked at his quest for the humane computer, one that was efficient, consistent, useful, and above all else, respectful and adaptable to the natural frailties of humans. From Raskin's early work on the Apple Macintosh to the Canon Cat and later his unique software implementations, you were guaranteed an interface you could sit down and interact with nearly instantly and—once you'd learned some basic keystrokes and rules—one yo

James Cameron on AI: it’s ‘just as creative’ as people, but with no ‘unique lived experience’

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. In December, Meta announced a multiyear partnership with James Cameron’s Lightstorm Vision to bring 3D entertainment to Meta’s Quest headsets. This week, Cameron joined Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth on stage during the company’s Meta Connect conference to share a first result of that partnership: Quest owners are able to watch an exclusive preview clip for Cameron’s upcoming Avatar 3 movie via the headset’s new H

‘Him’ Is Filled With Great, Creepy Ideas, But Never Quite Brings It All Home

Usually, there are sports movies and there are horror movies, and the two don’t really cross over. In Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees wears a hockey mask, but he doesn’t take a slap shot. A killer might swing a baseball bat, but they aren’t stepping up to the plate. Him, the new film from Justin Tipping, is one of the first, and maybe biggest, films to ever blend horror and sports, which, just for that, is worth being excited about. The film uses the violence of football, as well as the hero wor

Not Even $20 Million Would’ve Gotten Ridley Scott to Direct ‘Terminator 3’

There comes a time in a creative’s life when all the qualms one might have had around being brutally honest about their career’s highlights, their missed opportunities, and their happily avoided pitfalls seem to slip away. And joining the fray of old auteur’s saying the darnedest things is Alien director Ridley Scott, who just revealed that he was offered beaucoup bucks to direct Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines—but he turned it down. In an interview with The Guardian, (the outlet for many of

‘Alien: Earth’ Creator Says Its Eyeball Alien Is The Most Disturbing Thing You’ll See All Year

Hulu’s Alien: Earth series has emerged as one of the most refreshing and inventive entries in the long-running sci-fi series. While xenomorphs clashing with synthetics is familiar territory, the real scene-stealer (aside from Timothy Olyphant) is The Eye—a parasitic, tentacled nightmare that has slithered straight into viewers’ psyches. And creator Noah Hawley apparently knows it: He says the creepy little critter as one of the most messed-up creatures the franchise has unleashed in years. Spea

James Cameron Wants to Remind You That Generative AI Is a Threat

As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who’s going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won’t-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages

James Cameron Wants to Do an ‘Avatar’ Animated Anthology Movie

The lush new Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer just dropped today—the movie’s in theaters December 19—but James Cameron is already thinking about what’s next for Pandora. Not just Avatar 4 and beyond; though the films are famously on the cutting edge of motion-capture technology, Cameron would like to dig deeper into their world using a more traditional form of animation. Speaking to Empire Magazine, Cameron revealed he’s had conversations with Disney about further expanding the reach of stories rev

The First ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Trailer Is a Huge Level Up for Pandora

Give James Cameron three years to tinker with the same world, and everything is going to get bigger and better. That’s the main takeaway in this first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in Cameron’s mega-blockbuster sci-fi series. Everything in this trailer takes what we expect from Avatar and brings it up a notch. The action is bigger. The sets are more elaborate. The characters are more emotional. And, if we’ve come to learn anything from Cameron and this franchise, it’s sure to
