From AI to 16K screens, tech has officially disrupted the film industry
The multibillion-dollar global film industry is at the advent of another technological revolution, set to make movie-making easier than ever before.
One innovator in the space is prestigious camera and production supplies company, ARRI, which opened a groundbreaking stage just outside London in 2021. The stage features a 30-meter wide 16K resolution screen.
“It replaces the need to work within green screen, so the actors love the environment. They’re interacting with what they’re seeing around them,” ARRI production specialist Robert Payton told CNBC’s Converge.
ARRI partnered with live events operations company, Creative Technology, to meet the growing demand for virtual production facilities.
“We’re a display business, so we work in LED screens, which is kind of our core market, and obviously ARRI are at the forefront of the cinematic world,” said Connie Glover, Creative Technology’s head of film and TV.
“So, we joined forces and we both used our strengths to come up with this space,” Glover added.
Of course, virtual production is not the only innovation disrupting filmmaking. Artificial intelligence is a source of contention within the industry, but its advocates say the tech is democratizing creativity.
“What AI and Gen AI will hopefully be doing is allowing more people to have more opportunities to enter the industry, with a much lower barrier to entry,” said David Webster, creative consultant for the Singapore-based organization, AI Create.

We Went to a Crypto Conference: We Left Terrified
The crypto industry could cause a 2008 style economic crash. After spending $130 million on the 2024 elections, the industry won every seat it invested in. Now, they’re getting the policies they want — and that could mean economic disaster for the rest of us.—– More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means: We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective, and we attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions. We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power, and we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems.

Grok 3 is Here – Smartest AI on Earth?
Grok 3 is here, and I put it to the test. Built by xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company, Grok 3 comes with features like deep search, a reasoning model, and real-time web access. I show how it works inside X.com with the premium plan and compare it to other top models like ChatGPT and Gemini.
You’ll see how Grok 3 handles writing, image generation, document analysis, and content creation for X.com posts. It’s fast and great for real-time research, but it’s not without flaws—especially with certain reasoning tasks and data analysis.
Wondering if Grok 3 is worth it? I break down when it makes sense to use it and when other tools might be better.

Why Trump’s New Meme Coins Disappoint the Crypto Industry | WSJ
President Trump’s cryptocurrency meme coin $TRUMP has already earned him billions of dollars on paper, but this is one of the most controversial investments ever made by a commander-in-chief.

Once a bitcoin skeptic, Trump has promised to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the planet.”
WSJ explores why the Trump meme coin and Melania meme coin are so unprecedented and why they’re so controversial to the crypto industry.
