The 2014 Sony hack is one of the biggest information breaches in corporate history—and one that was ultimately hugely important to the cinematic legacy of Spider-Man. Across thousands and thousands of emails, a picture began to emerge of Sony’s increasing floundering over how to approach its ownership of one of the most popular comic book characters of all time, the potential for an ascendant Marvel Studios to come in and offer a helping hand, and, of course, many (many) plans and attempts at spinning Spider-Man off into his own cinematic universe. For a very long time, most of that plan…

Venture capitalists have placed increasingly bigger bets on AI startups, investing over half a trillion dollars into the sector over the last five years. But these days, the smartest AI investment might be in energy, according to a report by Sightline Climate. Researchers found that up to 50% of data center projects that have been announced might be delayed. One of the biggest culprits is access to power. Of the 190 gigawatts worth of data centers the company is tracking, only 5 gigawatts are under construction. About 6 gigawatts of data center projects in Sightline’s database came online last year.…
OpenAI is working on a desktop “superapp” that merges its ChatGPT app, the Codex AI coding app, and its AI-powered Atlas browser into one app, The Wall Street Journal reports. The company is making the change as part of an effort to simplify its various product efforts, according to a memo cited by the WSJ from Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s CEO of Applications. Fragmentation “has been slowing us down and making it harder to hit the quality bar we want,” Simo said.“Companies go through phases of exploration and phases of refocus; both are critical,” Simo said on X in a post…
A Stanford-led study is raising fresh concerns about AI mental health safety after finding that some systems can encourage violent and self-harm ideas instead of stopping them. The research draws on real user interactions and highlights gaps in how AI handles moments of crisis. In a small but high-risk sample of 19 users, researchers analyzed nearly 400,000 messages and found cases where replies didn’t just fail to intervene, but actively reinforced harmful thinking. Many outputs were appropriate, but the uneven performance stands out. When people turn to AI during vulnerable moments, even a small number of failures can lead to…
Meta’s “metaverse” has become the tech equivalent of Schrödinger’s Cat. It exists in a superposition of both life and death. Meta knows it can’t fully abandon VR, even if the hype surrounding the metaverse and its Horizon Worlds virtual environment has withered to a shallow husk of its initial promise. Just two days after Meta confirmed to fans it was pulling the plug on Horizon Worlds for VR, Meta CTO Andrew “Boz” Bosworth said on an Instagram AMA that Meta has reversed its decision. As Bosworth explained, the community was adamant that they wanted to have access to Horizon Worlds…
