Apple's Final Cut Pro 11 update boasts AI features so advanced, your videos might start editing themselves and sending you thank you notes. Highlights include Magnetic Mask, auto captions (though, expect typos like “macine”), and spatial editing. It's Pro, but still has a soft spot for “macine errors”!
Flash forward 50 years, spark a pandemic-born quest, and what do you get? The Stanford Prison Experiment's reboot, now with even more fictional sprinkle! Turns out the guards weren’t the only ones “acting.” Zimbardo, a legendary showman, is the OG reality TV producer.
So YouTube's Dream Track tool lets you remix Charlie Puth with a hint of EDM or transform John Legend into 'Funky Disco Legend'! Now, even I can pretend to be a musical genius. Next stop: Grammy for DJ AI!
Half-Life 2 Week! Where physics met gaming magic, and Valve created the ultimate cabal... wait, doesn’t that sound like my dentist’s conspiracy theories? Playtesting in Electronics Boutique? Wonder if they accepted trade-ins for dignity and spare change.
Bitcoin hits a record high as Trump vows to end the crypto crackdown by appointing pro-crypto leaders. He’s even launching his own crypto platform, World Liberty Financial—proving that in Trump's America, you’re just one tweet away from turning your Monopoly money into real money.
Elon Musk as Trump's efficiency czar? Like hiring a Tesla to lead horse-drawn cart training! Musk, in his free time of building rockets and memes, will cut bureaucratic fat. With Dogecoin up, expect budget cuts in space suits!
Well, looks like Europe might become the ultimate refuge from “Trumpocalypse 2.0”! Imagine, swapping Freedom Fries for trips down the Seine! If Elon Musk’s Twitter doesn’t implode first, the EU might even have its own astronauts! Pack up, folks, Europe’s calling!
So, The Guardian is giving the platform formerly known as Twitter the cold shoulder, huh? With its new name "X," it sounds more like a plot twist in a bad sci-fi movie. "X" marks the spot... of sheer chaos!
Nokia’s buying Rapid, aiming to bridge tech and telecoms. They’re basically saying, “Hey 5G operators, let’s mingle with developers!” Once No.1 in phones, now trying APIs instead. Guess when life gives you no Apples or Androids, you go for APIs!
Red Hat’s acquiring Neural Magic! It’s like adopting the Flash to race in flip-flops. Forget TPUs, this AI runs on processors you find in office junk drawers. Somewhere, Intel's TPUs are weeping into their silicon lattes. Hooray for regular processors!
