Artemis Fowl is based on the book by Eoin Colfer and it follows the journey of 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl as he finds himself embroiled in a fight against a powerful and hidden race of fairies who may be behind his father’s disappearance. A series of eight books, the movie is based on the first book with the hope for more to follow.

There’s a fantastic cast attached including Colin Farrell, Josh Gad, and Judi Dench so even if you’re not a fan of the books, there should be something to love here. It’s also directed by esteemed director Kenneth Branagh.

Ordinarily, Disney+ costs $7 per month but with a Disney+ free trial, you can enjoy the streaming service entirely for free for the first week. There’s no risk or commitment involved. Simply cancel the subscription before the 7 days are up and you won’t have to pay a dime.

Besides Artemis Fowl, there are plenty of great shows on Disney+. Every episode of The Simpsons is available along with Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian. There’s also room for all the Marvel movies and all of the Star Wars movies and spin-offs, too. That’s before you consider the wealth of historical Disney content which includes almost every single animated movie from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen 2. There’s something for everyone here, and we’re pretty sure you’re going to need more than a week to work your way through it all.

If you’ve never had a free Disney+ trial before, it takes seconds to set up. Sorry, previous customers, you’ll need to pay the $7 to gain access to Artemis Fowl and everything else, but we think it will be worth it. It’s a great alternative to Netflix that’s sure to entertain the whole family.

Grab the free trial now and enjoy your weekend of Disney magic.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions

Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

EXCLUSIVE: How Klara and the Sun warns of a future where humans compete with AI

What Does Klara and the Sun Say About the Dangers of AI?

Jenna Ortega stars in Klara and the Sun.

Artificial intelligence has already changed people's lives, both at home and at work, but what happens when people start treating AI as a replacement for their loved ones? Filmmaker Taika Waititi explores this terrifying idea with his new sci-fi movie, Klara and the Sun. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the film follows Klara, a solar-powered "Artificial Friend" played by Jenna Ortega, as she bonds with Josie, a sick teenager.

Klara and the Sun paints an unusual, unsettling portrait of a world with AI. Essentially The Wizard of Oz meets Blade Runner, Waititi's dystopian film is filled with his brand of vibrant visuals and quirky humor. But beneath all that, the film tells a deeper, more serious story about AI and whether it can cause the downfall of society and human connection.

Spotify has kicked 50 million AI slop tracks out of your recommendations

Spotify is cleaning up your music recommendations, and AI-generated spam is finally getting the boot.

Spotify on iPhone

Finding new music on Spotify is one of those little joys that can turn an ordinary day around. You play a song you love, let the recommendations take over, and occasionally stumble upon an artist you wish you’d discovered sooner. But with AI making it ridiculously easy to produce music in bulk, not everything landing in your recommendations deserves a listen.

Spotify knows this is becoming a problem, and it’s acting on it. The streaming giant has revealed it filtered more than 50 million spammy, low-quality tracks from its recommendations this year. That’s on top of another 75 million tracks it has completely removed from the platform for repeatedly or seriously breaking its rules. And Spotify isn’t stopping there — it wants to make sure actual artists aren’t buried under an endless stream of AI-generated content.
