Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google Deepmind, expects the next year to bring major progress in multimodal models, interactive video worlds, and more reliable AI agents. Speaking at the Axios AI+ Summit, Hassabis noted that Gemini’s multimodal capabilities are already powering new applications. He used a scene from ”Fight Club” to illustrate the point: instead of just describing the action, the AI interpreted a character removing a ring as a philosophical symbol of renouncing everyday life. Google’s latest image model uses similar capabilities to precisely understand visual content, allowing it to generate complex outputs like infographics, something that wasn’t previously possible.

After burning tens of billions and stubbornly insisting the metaverse would eventually justify the cost, Mark Zuckerberg appears to be backing away from his most ambitious project. Once its defining obsession, it appears that Meta’s boss has finally decided to cut his losses: the metaverse could be on the way out.

Reality Labs encompasses several areas of Meta’s VR/AR business, but Bloomberg writes that two of them will be hit hardest: Horizon Worlds and virtual reality. Zuckerberg is planning to slash Reality Labs’ budget by 30%, with the cuts coming as early as January 2026.

LAST MONTH, HBO Max announced a major new addition to its library. Not only would the streamer be adding Mad Men—a show that HBO execs infamously passed on back when Matthew Weiner was a writer on The Sopranos—but it would be presenting the period drama’s episodes in a new 4K remastering. This would, according to the press release, give “audiences and longtime Mad Men fans the opportunity to enjoy the series’ authentically crafted elements with crisp detail and enhanced visual clarity.”

You will never get lost watching The Abandons.

True, Netflix’s new Western series throws a lot of characters at you in its first few minutes.

There’s Constance (Gillian Anderson), the steely widowed matriarch of the Van Nesses, a rich mining family in the Washington Territory of the 1850s. She’s got two obnoxiously entitled sons, Willem (Toby Hemingway) and Garret (Lucas Till) and a pretty, sensitive daughter Trisha (Aisling Franciosi). The wealth of the Van Ness mines ensures that she’s got the town’s mayor (Patton Oswalt(!)) and sheriff (Marc Menchaca) under her thumb, and she’s got a pair of enforcers to do her dirty work (Michael Greyeyes, Michiel Huisman).

The Last Big Case Against Trump Has Been Dropped

Even today, nearly five years later, listening to Donald Trump’s call is shocking.

“So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes,” he told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and a few aides on January 2, 2021. Trump warned Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, that if he didn’t act, he would face prosecution: “That’s a criminal, that’s a criminal offense. And you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you and to Ryan, your lawyer.” And to underscore that he was asking Raffensperger to subvert the election results, he added, “So what are we going to do here, folks? I only need 11,000 votes. Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break.”
