While emerging technology is banned from the Palme d'Or, an upstart movement is gaining investment and attention I n Cannes' darkened screening rooms, the supposed future of cinema flickered into life this week and it was strange. The first edition of the World AI film festival (WAIFF) showcased visions of men with fish scales erupting from their necks and seaweed from their mouths, a heroine with a heart beating outside her body and so many massed armies of AI-generated tanned men sweeping across battlefields that David Lean would have blushed. Last week the Cannes film festival, entering its 76th year, banned the emerging technology from its Palme d'Or competition, insisting "AI imitates very well but it will never feel deep emotions".

The Met said corruption was the most consistent offence detected, with misconduct related to'abuse of the IT system that rosters shifts by police officers for personal or financial gain'.

The software was deployed by the Met over the course of a week, surveilling staff members using data the force has ready access to, unearthing rule-breaking ranging from work-from-home violations to suspected corruption and even criminal allegations such as rape. The Met said as a result of the software, evidence had been found tying a small number of officers to serious cases of misconduct and criminality, resulting in the arrest of three officers for offences including abuse of authority for sexual purposes, fraud, sexual assault, misconduct in public office and misuse of police systems.

Best Apps for Focus (2026): Focus Friend, Forest, Focus Traveller
Here are our recommendations for apps that help you stay focused on the task at hand. And with attention spans crumbling in the TikTok era, we now have an entire category of apps dedicated to helping you stick to what you're supposed to be doing. These apps all work more or less in the same way, giving you a straightforward method of tracking how long you're spending on a task, and offering some sort of incentive to keep going for the allotted amount of time. Sometimes you get a few extra features as well, like the ability to block access to other apps. In the interest of trying to write this specific article without switching between browser tabs and apps every two minutes, I gave three of the best focus tools a try.

Discord Sleuths Gained Unauthorized Access to Anthropic's Mythos
Plus: Spy firms tap into a global telecom weakness to track targets, 500,000 UK health records go up for sale on Alibaba, Apple patches a revealing notification bug, and more. As researchers and practitioners debate the impact that new AI models will have on cybersecurity, Mozilla said on Tuesday it used early access to Anthropic's Mythos Preview to find and fix 271 vulnerabilities in its new Firefox 150 browser release. Meanwhile, researchers identified a group of moderately successful North Korean hackers using AI for everything from vibe coding malware to creating fake company websites--stealing up to $12 million in three months. Researchers have finally cracked disruptive malware known as Fast16 that predates Stuxnet and may have been used to target Iran's nuclear program. It was created in 2005 and was likely deployed by the US or an ally.

The Online Civil War About 'Michael' Is a Battle Over Truth
Fans want to reclaim the music and myth of Michael Jackson in the new biopic while critics call for accountability. Still from, which opened April 24. Is truth determined by the size of the audience it reaches? If so, --a new film about the pop singer Michael Jackson that is on track to have the biggest-ever opening for a music biopic, with projected earnings of $70 million at the US box office, despite critics saying it sanitizes the reality of who Jackson actually was--intends to supplant the King of Pop as the apotheosis of artistic virtue. The film's release has sparked a familiar but newly intensified civil war online, between those eager to reclaim the music and myth of Jackson, and those who see any celebration of him as a failure of accountability.
