WIRED25: Netflix's Reed Hastings on Broadening Your Horizons
Thanks to Covid-19, the mantra for 2020 has got to be "quarantine and chill." Good thing Netflix is here to "entertain people all over the world," as the company's cofounder Reed Hastings explained at this year's WIRED25. Sating the global entertainment palate, though, requires an undying spirit of invention as well as narratives that span both the US and abroad. Netflix's secret, according to Hasting's new book No Rules Rules, is that it values its workers over its work process. It's this employee-centric attitude that allows a startup to maintain a culture of innovation as it grows from, say, a 30-person rent-by-mail DVD provider into the world's largest streaming service, with a film production arm that rivals Hollywood's Big Six.
Hollywood is replacing artists with AI. Its future is bleak.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that the "black mirror" of the popular anthology series Black Mirror was a screen, or rather, all the screens we surround ourselves with: phones, tablets, computers, TVs, and, increasingly, futuristic devices built by massive corporations that monitor our movements and preferences and words. We buy these black mirrors, welcoming them into our homes and lives and letting them -- true to their name -- reflect ourselves back to us. And as we know all too well, those reflections sometimes betray our darkest impulses. Unsettling reflections are not the black mirrors' fault. Gadgets are merely assemblages of wires and metal and glass. Devices don't have a point of view; they operate according to the input they receive, the algorithms and designs and patterns that power the software, written by humans and thus shaded and slanted by human biases.
This artificial intelligence (AI) tool can flag spoilers in online reviews of books, movies and TV shows - Republic World
Researchers have created a new system that can flag spoilers in online reviews of books and TV shows. The system is based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology. "Spoilers are everywhere on the internet and are very common on social media. As internet users, we understand the pain of spoilers, and how they can ruin one's experience," said Ndapa Nakashole, a professor at the University of California San Diego in the US. Some movie review websites like IMDb allow users to manually flag their posts with tags that serve as'spoiler ahead' warning signs.
Cutting the cord with Vizio's new V436 TV
When it comes to pure, cutting the cord TVs, Amazon's Fire TV Edition paved new ground in 2018. It was low-priced and aimed at folks who were happy ditching cable, plugging in an antenna and using the set to watch Internet programming. Vizio's new V436-61, just out, goes even further. It does all of that, and more. Instead of just being able to use voice commands via the Amazon Alexa assistant, Vizio lets you use Apple's Siri and the Google Assistant as well.
7 secrets to getting more from Amazon Prime Video
We tested every streaming box you can buy, and our two favorite are both great devices--but which one is right for you? Amazon Prime Video offers streaming of movies such as "The Big Sick." While Prime Video may not be as widely known as that "other" major video streaming service, Amazon's on-demand platform is a force to be reckoned with. Between its growing catalog of movies and TV shows (including several award-winning exclusives) and all the other goodies you get for being a Prime member (free two-day shipping, Prime Music access, free Kindle e-books, and unlimited online photo storage), it's quite easy to justify the $99/year subscription cost.
