Hulu Gets Jump On Fall TV

By DT Staff Published October 25, 2009

If you really can’t wait to see the season premieres of your favorite TV shows, then you might want to go to Hulu, the online TV venture created by NBC and News Corp.

Popular shows from both NBC and Fox will get an early online airing, including Bones, Prison Break, 30 Rock and Chuck.
Given that some believe Hulu’s ad revenue could soon pass that of YouTube, it’s not surprising it’s being given a hefty push with new episodes of popular shows.

Virgin Galactic is charging $750,000 for three minutes of weightlessness, and nearly 700 people are already in the queue

Three minutes of floating, one very expensive ticket.

I’ll be honest with you. Three minutes of weightlessness for the price of a very nice house sounds absurd to me. Even so, hundreds of people have already lined up to experience it.

Most recently, Virgin Galactic unveiled Apeiron, the first spaceplane in its new Delta class. The company flew it from its Arizona factory to Spaceport America in New Mexico, where it will begin flight testing.

AI bots are now trying to sabotage public health policies, like banning disposable vapes

Thousands of AI bots voted in a public health poll to block sales restriction on disposable vapes. It's like Big Tobacco is back from the dead.

In the broad context of AI and its perceived harms, health and medical risks often pop up in the conversation. The warnings even come from frontier AI labs, such as ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Anthropic, both of which have warned about misusing AI to cook up bioweapons. Security experts have already spotted a few such incidents in the wild, especially with the usage of AI models without any solid guardrails.

Well, it appears that the risks run deeper. As per an analysis appearing in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), AI bots are now being deployed to influence public policies governing health risks to citizens. In this instance, an attempt was made using AI bots to thwart regulations that aim to restrict the sale of disposable vapes, all while disguising the manipulation efforts as a response from real humans.
