Tom Cruise is no stranger to box-office success, but 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick takes the cake in terms of the actor’s biggest blockbuster, which is quite the accomplishment considering the A-lister filmed the original Top Gun a full 36 years earlier. Ever the action movie star, Cruise is known for not relying on CGI to do carry out his stunt work, even if that sometimes leads to injury. While there were trained Navy pilots actually piloting the jets in Maverick, Cruise was still flying around in an F-18 Super Hornet,…

MIT researchers have developed an AI-based method to improve safety and stability in autonomous robots, successfully addressing the ‘stabilize-avoid’ problem. Using a two-step approach involving deep reinforcement learning and mathematical optimization, the method was effectively tested on a simulated jet aircraft. This could have future applications in dynamic robots requiring safety and stability, like autonomous delivery drones.A new AI-based approach for controlling autonomous robots satisfies the often-conflicting…

Nam June Paik was a Korean video art pioneer, experimentalist and avant garde disruptor whose amazing, anarchic career – which flourished in 1960s and 70s New York – is recounted in this amusing and engaging documentary, the title of which is taken from one of his works: a luminous disc on a screen, telling us we gaze at the TV in the submissive way we once stared at the moon.Minari’s Steven Yeun provides the voiceover for the artist’s own words and, among other things, this film shows us how exhausting it must be to do…

There’s no need for true ground-up creation. That happened a long time ago, and whatever follows reaps the benefits.Despite this neverending reliance on…
