Even Realities G1 review: Limited but effective smart glasses
I appreciate devices that don't try to do too much. There are too many products throwing too many features at the consumer in the hope one or two sticks. I'm reminded of the recently revived Pebble, which offers a pared down way to check your phone's notifications from your wrist, and little else. That's the best way to describe Even Realities' G1 smart glasses, which puts a second screen for your smartphone on your face. G1 is almost aggressively low-tech, putting in your line of sight a dot matrix display that'll leap into life when required. You'll be able to see the time, phone notifications, calendar, stock and news updates from a handful of chosen publishers.
'Sound of Freedom' producer says AI tools helped nab child trafficker that eluded FBI for 10 years
Editor's Note: This article contains discussions related to child sexual abuse and pornography. Child predators are on high alert as organizations around the globe have begun rolling out artificial intelligence (AI) tools to bring sex traffickers to justice and rescue young victims, according to "Sound of Freedom" executive producer Paul Hutchinson. Hutchinson, who has led 70 undercover rescue missions across 15 countries, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that he has worked with "black hat" hackers to help identify child predators and bring them to justice. These guys are some of the best hackers anywhere. Some of them do highly illegal things for the right reasons, right?
Of All StrIPEs: Investigating Structure-informed Positional Encoding for Efficient Music Generation
Agarwal, Manvi, Wang, Changhong, Richard, Gael
While music remains a challenging domain for generative models like Transformers, a two-pronged approach has recently proved successful: inserting musically-relevant structural information into the positional encoding (PE) module and using kernel approximation techniques based on Random Fourier Features (RFF) to lower the computational cost from quadratic to linear. Yet, it is not clear how such RFF-based efficient PEs compare with those based on rotation matrices, such as Rotary Positional Encoding (RoPE). In this paper, we present a unified framework based on kernel methods to analyze both families of efficient PEs. We use this framework to develop a novel PE method called RoPEPool, capable of extracting causal relationships from temporal sequences. Using RFF-based PEs and rotation-based PEs, we demonstrate how seemingly disparate PEs can be jointly studied by considering the content-context interactions they induce. For empirical validation, we use a symbolic music generation task, namely, melody harmonization. We show that RoPEPool, combined with highly-informative structural priors, outperforms all methods.
A Minecraft Movie storms box office despite lukewarm reviews
Around half of the film's global takings came from North America, according to EntTelligence. The box office numbers come despite reviews for the film being mostly underwhelming. The Telegraph awarded it two stars, saying the charm of the video game was "nowhere to be found", while the Guardian gave it just one star, saying it has "a cobbled-together feel". It does not appear to have stopped families showing up in force to see it. "It has definitely overperformed all industry projections," said Steve Buck, chief strategy officer at EntTelligence, which said the film had enjoyed a late ticket surge.

The Controversy Over Netflix's Megahit New Show Is Even More Intense Here in the U.K.
It sometimes happens that a random British TV show will suddenly shoot to enormous, worldwide acclaim without a big publicity campaign to push it there, instead driven primarily by word of mouth. The best example of this is 2024's Baby Reindeer, which became a hit and sparked real-life twists and turns to rival those within the series itself. The latest example, Adolescence, has seen success on a different scale, though. The four-part drama, about a 13-year-old boy named Jamie who is arrested for murdering a girl at his school, became one of Netflix's most popular series of all time--beating out Stranger Things Season 3--within just the first 17 days of its release. Why is everyone watching this show?
Fox News AI Newsletter: 'Battlestar Galactica' is 'even more relevant now,' star says
Tricia Helfer, who played a humanoid robot Cylon on "Battlestar Galactica," says the show's look at the conflict between humans and AI still resonates today. THE FUTURE IS NOW: "Battlestar Galactica" star Tricia Helfer feels the show was a prescient warning about artificial intelligence when it debuted more than 20 years ago. DEMOCRATIZING INTELLIGENCE: Compute Exchange CEO Simeon Bochev weighed in on the impact of computing power in artificial intelligence during an appearance on "Mornings with Maria." SIDE-FLIPPING ROBOT: Robots aren't just efficient machines anymore, they are now agile performers that can flip and jog. MAJOR INVESTMENT: ChatGPT creator OpenAI on Monday revealed it is getting up to 40 billion in new funding.
Watch M3GAN switch from horror to action in the new sequel trailer
The trailer for M3GAN 2.0 is here and if you were expecting a copy-paste of the original's horror vibe, you may be surprised. Instead, the sequel is embracing a turn towards action in vein of Terminator 2 complete with upgrades to the original doll, a robot showdown and... a wing suit? Set to arrive in theaters only on June 27, the film is once again directed by Gerard Johnstone and features returning cast members Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps, along with newcomer Ivanna Sakhno (Pacific Rim: Uprising) as Amelia. It's two years after the original M3GAN doll went on a murderous rampage (including that wild dance sequence) and was eventually destroyed. Since then, its designer Gemma has become an author and voice for more robust AI oversight, while Gemma's niece Cady (who M3GAN 1.0 swore to protect) is now a teenager. Meanwhile, M3GAN's AI tech was stolen by a defense contractor to build super robot solidier Amelia.
US authors' copyright lawsuits against OpenAI and Microsoft combined in New York with newspaper actions
A transfer order made by the US judicial panel on multidistrict litigation on Thursday said that centralisation will "allow a single judge to coordinate discovery, streamline pretrial proceedings, and eliminate inconsistent rulings". Cases brought in California by prominent authors including Ta-Nehisi Coates, Michael Chabon, Junot Díaz and the comedian Sarah Silverman will be transferred to New York and joined with cases brought by news outlets, including the New York Times, and other authors including John Grisham, George Saunders, Jonathan Franzen and Jodi Picoult. Most of the plaintiffs opposed consolidation, arguing that their cases were too different to be combined. OpenAI had proposed consolidating the cases in northern California. The judicial panel ultimately transferred the cases to the southern district of New York, stating that centralisation would "serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses" and "promote the just and efficient conduct of this litigation".
Brown University student angers non-faculty employees by asking 'what do you do all day,' faces punishment
Alex Shieh is a student at Brown University. He is making waves and facing charges for asking the school's non-faculty employees what they do all day. A sophomore at Brown University is facing the school's wrath after he sent a DOGE-like email to non-faculty employees asking them what they do all day to try to figure out why the elite school's tuition has gotten so expensive. "The inspiration for this is the rising cost of tuition," Alex Shieh told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Next year, it's set to be 93,064 to go to Brown," Shieh said of the Ivy League university.
