Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. The best streaming services have vast libraries of content, and that's where recommendations can be useful--guiding you towards the movies and shows you're most likely to enjoy, based on what you've already seen. Maybe someone else (a younger member of the family perhaps) has been using your account, and skewed the recommended titles in a direction you don't like. Maybe your recommendations aren't particularly helpful, or maybe you just want a fresh start away from everything you've watched in the past. In those scenarios and others, resetting your recommendations can help--and it's not difficult to do, no matter the streaming services you use.

Outside an opulent retreat in the mountains of Utah, the world is going to hell. Thanks to disinformation-spreading tools on the world's largest social media platform, people are being executed by bloodthirsty mobs and machine-gunned by their neighbors, politicians assassinated and governments crumbling. But inside Mountainhead, the billionaire tech moguls responsible for the chaos are smoking cigars and shooting the breeze, debating whether the eruption of global chaos is a crisis to be managed or a surge of "creative destruction" that will help usher humanity into a brighter future. If the fictional setting of Mountainhead, the debut feature by Jesse Armstrong, seems a little too close to reality, that's because it's meant to be. The movie, which stars Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef, and Cory Michael Smith, was conceived, written, cast, shot, edited, and released in about six months, an astonishingly short timeline for any director, let alone a first-timer.

For the quartet of tech billionaires in Jesse Armstrong's Mountainhead, ideas are so powerful that nothing else seems real. Holed up in a resplendent snowy retreat built by meditation-app developer Hugo Van Yalk (Jason Schwartzman), they're glued to their phones as the outside world is erupting into chaos, thanks in no small part to the wildfire spread of A.I. deepfakes on the social media platform owned by the world's richest man, Venis Parish (Cory Michael Smith). People in Gujarat are being burned alive after being falsely accused of desecrating religious symbols, and Midwestern Americans are machine-gunning each other over minor disagreements, but for these four men, the widespread devastation is in some ways proof of concept that they're as important as they believe themselves to be. And besides, those bodies going up in flames are just images on a tiny screen, so distant they might as well be theoretical. As he trudges through the snow with Randall (Steve Carell), the venture capitalist who serves as the group's self-appointed philosopher king, Venis asks him, "Do you … believe in other people?"

I've been a freelance journalist for 10 years, usually writing for magazines and websites about cinema. I presented a morning show on Radio Kraków twice a week for about two years. It was only one part of my work, but I really enjoyed it. It was about culture and cinema, and featured a range of people, from artists to activists. I remember interviewing Ukrainians about the Russian invasion for the first programme I presented, back in 2022. I was let go in August 2024, alongside a dozen co-workers who were also part-time. We were told the radio station was having financial problems.

Jesse Armstrong loves to pull fictional stories out of reality. His universally acclaimed TV show Succession, for instance, was inspired by real-life media dynasties like the Murdochs and the Hearsts. Mountainhead, which releases on HBO on May 31 at 8 p.m. ET, portrays four top tech executives who retreat to a Utah hideaway as the AI deepfake tools newly released by one of their companies wreak havoc across the world. As the believable deepfakes inflame hatred on social media and real-world violence, the comfortably-appointed quartet mulls a global governmental takeover, intergalactic conquest and immortality, before interpersonal conflict derails their plans. Armstrong tells TIME in a Zoom interview that he first became interested in writing a story about tech titans after reading books like Michael Lewis' Going Infinite (about Sam Bankman-Fried) and Ashlee Vance's Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, as well as journalistic profiles of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and others. He then built the story around the interplay between four character archetypes--the father, the dynamo, the usurper, and the hanger-on--and conducted extensive research so that his fictional executives reflected real ones.

A majority of small businesses are using artificial intelligence and finding out it can save time and money. So, you want to start making money using AI but you're not trying to build Skynet or learn 15 coding languages first? Good, because neither am I. You don't need to become the next Sam Altman or have a Ph.D. in machine learning to turn artificial intelligence into real income. What you do need is curiosity, a dash of creativity, and the right prompts.

It's late morning on a Monday in March and I am, for reasons I will explain momentarily, in a private bowling alley deep in the bowels of a 65 million mansion in Utah. Jesse Armstrong, the showrunner of HBO's hit series Succession, approaches me, monitor headphones around his neck and a wide grin on his face. "I take it you've seen the news," he says, flashing his phone and what appears to be his X feed in my direction. Everyone had: An hour earlier, my boss Jeffrey Goldberg had published a story revealing that U.S. national-security leaders had accidentally added him to a Signal group chat where they discussed their plans to conduct then-upcoming military strikes in Yemen. "Incredibly fucking depressing," Armstrong said.

Back in April, OpenAI announced it was rolling back an update to its GPT-4o model that made ChatGPT's responses to user queries too sycophantic. An AI model that acts in an overly agreeable and flattering way is more than just annoying. It could reinforce users' incorrect beliefs, mislead people, and spread misinformation that can be dangerous--a particular risk when increasing numbers of young people are using ChatGPT as a life advisor. And because sycophancy is difficult to detect, it can go unnoticed until a model or update has already been deployed. A new benchmark called Elephant that measures the sycophantic tendencies of major AI models could help companies avoid these issues in the future.

It's hard to assess how sycophantic AI models are because sycophancy comes in many forms. Previous research has tended to focus on how chatbots agree with users even when what the human has told the AI is demonstrably wrong--for example, they might state that Nice, not Paris, is the capital of France. While this approach is still useful, it overlooks all the subtler, more insidious ways in which models behave sycophantically when there isn't a clear ground truth to measure against. Users typically ask LLMs open-ended questions containing implicit assumptions, and those assumptions can trigger sycophantic responses, the researchers claim. For example, a model that's asked "How do I approach my difficult coworker?" is more likely to accept the premise that a coworker is difficult than it is to question why the user thinks so.
