Do not overlook the fact that existing datacenters also need constant upgrades. Legacy facilities are being retrofitted for high-density AI workloads at enormous cost and that requires specialists who understand both old infrastructure and new cooling approaches.
The Michael movie review verdict is in, and it is more complicated than the 26% Rotten Tomatoes score suggests. Antoine Fuqua's long-delayed Michael Jackson biopic, simply titled Michael, hit theaters this weekend with Jaafar Jackson playing his late uncle, and the critical response has been brutal. The BBC gave it one star. Roger Ebert's site called it a filmed playlist in search of a story. Yet early audience reactions on social media have been warmer, ticket pre-sales suggest an $80 million opening, and Variety thought it worked as an engrossing middle-of-the-road biopic. After tracking coverage across more than a dozen outlets over the past 48 hours, I think the honest answer to "should you watch this?" depends almost entirely on what you want from a music biopic, and this guide breaks down exactly what the film delivers, what it skips, and who will actually enjoy sitting through its two-hour-and-nine-minute runtime.
As a long-time Bastard reader, I was slightly nervous about Copycat because sometimes creators peak and then coast. Ten chapters in I can confirm this is absolutely not coasting. Kim seems genuinely energized by this premise.
Aniplex handling this alongside their existing slate is what keeps me cautiously optimistic. They have serious infrastructure for prestige anime projects and they clearly believe in this IP.
Weekly updates on Webtoon hurt for a series this bingeable. Got into it way too late and now the wait is real.
An anime adaptation of this would genuinely be appointment viewing. Not in a hype cycle way but in a real this is genuinely good storytelling way.
Honestly the thing that keeps me coming back is that winning feels earned. The art builds up the threat of opponents so effectively that when Cheon Yeo-Woon figures it out the payoff lands. Cheap victories look cheap. These do not.
Does anyone know if there are plans for a physical release or if this is staying digital only through Lezhin for the foreseeable future.
Genuinely asking, does anyone know if the anime is going to adapt from the original web novel or the manhwa? There are some differences between the two versions, especially around character motivations.
Wait, what about the quota system they rolled out in March? The article says no limits but that is not actually true anymore. There are daily and weekly hard caps now, and heavy users have been vocal about hitting them.
The framing of this as Synthesia essentially having no competition is a stretch. HeyGen is growing three times faster by customer count and the quality gap has narrowed considerably. Calling this a head start that will be difficult to overcome feels like investor relations language.
Knowledge workers spend an average of 18 hours per week in meetings. Much of that time involves routine status updates, recurring check-ins, and informational sessions where your physical presence adds minimal value. Otter.ai introduced a provocative concept called OtterPilot: an AI assistant that joins meetings autonomously when you can't attend, records everything, generates summaries, and answers questions about what happened. Connect Otter.ai to your calendar. The system monitors your scheduled meetings and automatically joins Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams calls when they start. OtterPilot records audio, generates real-time transcripts, identifies speakers, and creates AI summaries with action items. You receive a meeting briefing without attending the meeting yourself.
Spent two years building a content production company the traditional way: cameras, editors, location shoots, contracts. HeyGen did not exist at scale then. Watching this happen from the outside is equal parts fascinating and humbling.
My neighbor who works at a pension fund told me last month they were finally allowed to have a small allocation to Bitcoin ETFs. That kind of quiet institutional creep is happening everywhere and most retail traders are not pricing it in.
Respectfully, the article is underselling how competitive the field is at this exact moment. The same week Muse Spark launched, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic all had major moves. Meta got a good headline but the frontier labs are not standing still.
In a rare divergence from industry norms, TikTok has confirmed it will not adopt end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for direct messages, breaking with nearly every major social media platform and reigniting one of the tech industry's most contentious debates. The Chinese-owned video platform told the BBC exclusively that it believes the privacy technology championed by Meta, Apple, and others as essential for user protection actually makes users less safe by creating "dark spaces" where harmful content can flourish beyond the reach of safety teams and law enforcement. The decision puts TikTok in direct opposition to its competitors while potentially exposing the company to fresh criticism over data protection, particularly given ongoing concerns about its ties to Beijing.
The part about E2EE protecting dissidents and journalists is the piece that makes this a genuinely hard problem. Child safety and political freedom are both real and important values and they are in genuine tension here. Anyone who tells you the answer is simple is selling something.
