  • Deadpool Creator Rob Liefeld Says DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Will Be "One of The Best Comic Book Movies of All Time" — GeekTyrant

    Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld is pretty freakin’ hyped about Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine. He’s obviously seen an early cut of the film, and now, after the new...

  • It’s time to retire the term “user”

    Every Friday, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri speaks to the people. He has made a habit of hosting weekly “ask me anything” sessions on Instagram, in which followers send him questions about the app, its parent company Meta, and his own (extremely public-facing) job. When I started watching these AMA videos years ago, I liked them.…

  • Creating Community, One Conversation at a Time

    Walking home one evening, I came to an intersection. A family and a couple were waiting for the light, the family bantering about crossing against the light. “My knees won’t let me go that fast!” the grandma warned. “Ma’am, I’m with you!” the man from the couple called out with a laugh. “My wife doesn’t More

  • Financial Times enters ChatGPT content deal

  • The Veil review: A nothingburger disguised as a timely thriller

    The question that springs to mind at the end of The Veil is: What are we even doing here? What is the purpose of this FX six-episode limited series? Premiering on April 30, The Veil is boring and aimless unless the goal is to (much like the dragged-out The Handmaid’s Tale) remind audiences of the all-consuming power of an Elisabeth Moss close-up shot. She commands the camera here, too, but it doesn’t justify a confounding TV show with nothing substantial to say about the Serious Issues™ it’s...

  • What’s one memento you kept from your time at MIT?

    Alumni leave MIT armed with knowledge and a whole lot of memories. During Tech Reunions in 2023, the MIT Alumni Association asked returning alums what else they had held onto since leaving campus. Here are just a few of their responses.  Check out the recent MIT alumni video about physical objects grads have kept—and why…

  • This wireless mic is a bargain for iPhone content creators

    One of our favourite wireless mics has just seen a substantial price cut over at Amazon, making for one heck of a bargain for content creators. If you film content primarily with your iPhone then you absolutely need to nab the Hollyland Lark C1 as you can now get the charging case with a lapel mic and Lightning receiver for just £65. For context, this set-up originally cost £126 at launch but the discount is easy to miss given that Amazon hasn’t signposted it. Take it from me, if you’re...

  • The Jinx – Part Two review: Killing time

    Robert Durst is a good murderer and a shit criminal. “I think he would be free today if he had just kept his trap shut,” New York Times reporter Charles Bagli explains in the premiere of The Jinx – Part Two, the followup to the 2015 HBO series chronicling Durst’s history of murder allegations. Bagli isn’t covering new territory for returning Jinx viewers; anyone who glanced at the news in March 2015 knows what Durst unhinged his trap to say. “There it is, you’re caught,” Durst mumbled to...

  • OpenAI to train LLMs on Financial Times content — with permission

    The Financial Times (full disclosure — the owners of The Next Web) have inked a deal with OpenAI. The American firm will use the British publisher’s content to train its generative AI models. The deal is the latest in a string of new partnerships between OpenAI and global news publishers like Axel Springer, Associated Press, and Le Monde. The company did not disclose the financial terms of any of the contracts. In 2023 alone, hundreds of pages of litigation and countless articles accused tech...
