New York is taking steps to regulate the use of AI in the state’s entertainment industry. NY State Governor Kathy Hochul passed two pieces of legislation on Thursday that forces certain productions to disclose the use of AI-generated performers, and defines rules around how someone’s likeness can be used after their death.Assembly Bill A8887B, now known as S.8420-A, specifically covers the use of AI performers in advertisements. Per Hochul’s announcement, the law “requires persons who produce or create an advertisement to identify if it includes AI generated synthetic performers.” S.8391, meanwhile, “requires consent from heirs or executors if a person…

The previously announced Deus Ex Remastered from Aspyr was set to launch in February of next year. It’s now been indefinitely delayed following a flood of complaints that the new version of the classic PC game looked ugly. During Sony’s State of Play event in September, Aspyr revealed Deus Ex Remastered, an “improved” and “better” looking version of the original, a beloved sci-fi immersive sim developed by Ion Storm and released in 2000. Almost immediately, the reaction online turned negative. People, myself included, weren’t happy about all the textures being replaced with newer, higher-resolution assets. These didn’t mesh well with…

Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have detected the strongest evidence yet for an atmosphere on a rocky planet outside our solar system, as NASA leads the world in exploring the universe from the Moon to Mars and beyond. Observations of the ultra-hot super-Earth TOI-561 b suggest that the exoplanet is surrounded by a thick blanket of gases above a global magma ocean. The results help explain the planet’s unusually low density and challenge the prevailing wisdom that relatively small planets so close to their stars are not able to sustain atmospheres.   This artist’s concept shows what the…

South Korean crypto entrepreneur and prosecuted fraudster Do Kwon was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a US federal judge in the Southern District of New York on Thursday.Kwon cut a solemn figure as he was escorted into the courtroom by US Marshals, his head bowed, his cheeks sunken as if he’d lost a significant amount of weight. He wore a bright lemon-colored prison jumpsuit over a long-sleeve shirt, with cuffs around his waist and hands.In August, Kwon pleaded guilty to defrauding investors who purchased crypto coins issued by his company, Terraform Labs. In May 2022, the abrupt collapse…

This morning Disney and OpenAI announced a three-year licensing agreement: Starting in 2026, ChatGPT and Sora can generate images and videos incorporating Disney IP, including more than 200 characters from the company’s stable of Star Wars, Pixar and Marvel brands. To say these companies make for strange bedfellows is an understatement.The agreement brings together two parties with very different public stances on copyright. Before OpenAI released Sora, the company reportedly notified studios and talent agencies they would need to opt out of having their work appear in the new app. The company later backtracked on this stance. Before that, OpenAI…

Gaming’s biggest night of the year is here once again, and while everyone assumes Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will sweep the Game Awards 2025, it’s much less clear what new games and trailers will get revealed in-between the winners’ speeches. Will we see a new Star Wars game? Will Nintendo announce DLC for Mario Kart World? Will Hollow Knight: Silksong win any awards? Here’s a quick guide for how to watch and what to expect. What time does the Game Awards 2025 start? Geoff Keighley’s adaptation of the Oscars kicks off December 11 (that’s today) with a pre-show at 7:30…

NASA has selected one small explorer mission concept to advance toward flight design and another for an extended period of concept development. NASA’s Science Mission Directorate Science Management Council selected CINEMA (Cross-scale Investigation of Earth’s Magnetotail and Aurora) to enter Phase B of development, which includes planning and design for flight and mission operations. The principal investigator for the CINEMA mission concept is Robyn Millan from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The proposed CINEMA mission aims to advance our understanding of how plasma energy flows into the Earth’s magnetosphere. This highly dynamic convective flow is unpredictable — sometimes steady…

Amazon’s plan to offer AI-generated recaps of Prime Video shows isn’t off to a great start. The company’s recap of the first season of Fallout features multiple errors, GamesRadar+ writes, including basic facts about the plot of the show.You can watch the recap yourself in the “Extras” section of Amazon’s Fallout season two listing in Prime Video. Besides being somewhat dry, the AI-generated recap incorrectly identifies the time period of the show’s Los Angeles-set flashbacks as being the 1950s, when they’re actually 2077 (the Fallout franchise is set in an alternate history that diverged from our real one after 1945).…

Supergirl is out next summer and we finally have our first official trailer. It’s still just a “teaser,” so lots about the upcoming DC movie is still being kept close to the vest, but it nevertheless sets the stage for what to expect from the next chapter in James Gunn’s new comic book universe. It also includes a great quote that deftly sums up the difference between Kara and Clark. “He sees the goodness in everyone, I see the truth,” Supergirl says when asked what distinguishes her from the Man of Steel. It puts the perfect period on a teaser…
