AI Is a Burnout Machine
Getty / Futurism Some software engineers are finding that AI is speeding up their work, but at a cost: it’s also accelerating them towards burnout. Siddhant Khare is one of those programmers. In an interview with Business Insider, he lamented that while AI has made him more productive, it’s also led him to feel that his job was harder than ever. “We used to call it an engineer, now it is like a reviewer,” Khare told BI. “Every time it feels like you are a

Three Years Ago Today, "Avengers" Director Joe Russo Predicted There Would Be a Fully AI-Generated Movie Within Two Years
Hollywood has been “cooked” for years now, according to AI fanatics, yet movies still remain largely human-made, and nothing even close to an AI-generated blockbuster has hit the silver screen. Even certain filmmakers have also been guilty of overselling the tech’s capabilities. Take “Avengers: Endgame” director Joe Russo, who enthused in an interview with Collider that there would be a fully AI movie within “two years” — exactly three years ago. Perhaps R
