The Oscars just drew a hard line in the sand: You’re allowed to use AI to help make a movie, but you’re not allowed to use AI actors or writers
Now actors and writers are supposed to be human. As the Academy released its rules for the 99th Academy Awards, the organization declared that any movies with “AI generated actors” or “AI written screenplays” would be ineligible for acting or writing prizes (but otherwise still eligible). So what do you do, exactly, in a time when we can no longer be sure if AI is a tool or a threat? Hollywood is going to have to make that call soon. The Academy released its latest statement on what’s eligible for an Oscar, including how they’re going to approach AI actors […]
The post Lady Gaga’s Album Reaches A New Chart Peak A Decade After It Dropped appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Lady Gaga’s Joanne recently turned 10, and the singer re-released it on vinyl. This week, the set becomes a U.K. bestseller again and hits a new chart peak.

(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Getty Images A decade ago, Lady Gaga had proved herself to be not just a pop star, but a certified hitmaker – the kind who was planning on sticking around. By that point in her career, she had already dropped multiple electronic dance-pop full-lengths, won several Grammys and even pivoted to a new style by teaming up with legendary crooner Tony Bennett for the collaborative set Cheek to Cheek. For her fourth solo album Joanne, Gaga decided to move in a new direction – one which was quite a gamble. While Joanne does feat
The post AI is about to Take Over, So Hollywood Is Sending the Terminator Back to Save Us appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
In the summer of 1991, the scariest thing James Cameron could imagine was a computer that woke up one morning, decided humanity was the problem, and started solving for it. Thirty-five years later, that premise doesn’t play like science fiction anymore. It plays like a slightly dramatized version of your group chat. Which makes the timing of what’s about to happen kind of perfect. Terminator 2: Judgment Day — the film that taught a generation what “Skynet” meant before any of us had a chatbot in our pocket — is coming back to theaters worldwide for its 35th anniversary, restored in 4K, RealD 3D and premium formats. Studiocanal, Fathom Entertainment and Rialto Pictures roll it out across the US on August 28, with New Zealand catching it on September 3. And they’ve done something cheeky with the release window. The run deliberately straddles August 29 — the in-un

(Photo by Savion Washington/Getty Images for Illumination And Universal Pictures) Getty Images for Illumination And Universal Pictures The appeal of the popular Minions characters may be fading in the United States. The latest installment of the franchise, Minions & Monsters, is failing at home and thriving everywhere else, which underscores the appeal of pop culture as an American export even as domestic audiences are indifferent to the movie’s themes steeped in Hollywood lore. The film opened to a franchise-low $61.4 million over five days domestically, a steep drop from Despicable Me 4’s $120 million and Minions: The Rise of Gru’s $122 million over the same July 4th frame.

I’m just doing my job, but turns out, it feels lousy holding other people’s privacy in your hands.
I've long argued that Hollywood has simultaneously set and ruined our expectations for smart glasses. But after binge-watching two seasons of Netflix's A Man on the Inside, this is perhaps the first time I've seen Hollywood, perhaps inadvertently, illustrate the biggest cultural problem with smart glasses as they stand today.
In a nutshell, Ted Danson plays Charles Nieuwendyk, an elderly widower who finds a new purpose working for a private investigator. Armed with a pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses, a voice recorder, and a smartphone, Nieuwendyk infiltrates a retirement home, and several privacy-infringing hijinks ensue as he hunts for the je …
