Mrs. Davis wants to talk to you.

Peacock has unveiled the bonkers trailer for Mrs. Davis, their new sci-fi show starring Betty Gilpin as a nun who fights AI. In honor of the show, we had ChatGPT write this entire article. Just kidding—we’re on the nun’s side. No AI allowed here.

From this first look, the show has a lot of Black Mirror vibes. Simone (Gilpin), a nun, has a conversation with another human being in the first scene—though this “human” quickly turns into a robot. She asks Simone if she can “proxy,” meaning... Читать дальше...

There is a deceptively simple optical illusion that consistently fools us. The Müller-Lyer illusion consists of two parallel lines, one with fins pointing inward and the other with fins extending outward. The lines are of equal length, yet no matter how many times we measure them, the one with the fins diverging will always appear longer. This tension between what we know conceptually and what we perceive instinctively is built into us and is... Читать дальше...

When the lights went up at SXSW’s world premiere screening of Julio Torres’ directorial debut, Problemista, viewers were already fluttering out of their seats before the post-credits applause ended. But not because they were anxious to exit the theater—far from it, in fact.

John Wick: Chapter 4 borders on being too much of a good thing—both in the sense that it’s the fourth installment of a series that could have easily ended after its first, and with regards to its gargantuan 169-minute runtime. Fortunately, more turns out to be just about right in this case, with the film offering up such an onslaught of brutal, breakneck action that it’s easy to forgive its less compelling narrative excesses. Designed... Читать дальше...

As it turns out, it might also play a massive role in your brain health in old age too.
