AI Will Never FAKE This ONE Thing

AI can now fake entire performances—but something’s still missing.

In this cinematic deep-dive, I explore the one thing AI will never replicate: the raw truth behind powerful stories we love. We break down what gives great performances their emotional weight and why audiences can feel the difference, even when everything looks perfect.

From movie magic to machine mimicry, this video is about more than just tech. It’s about passion, struggle, craft, and connection—and how those things shape art that lasts.

With AI threatening jobs, is it time for a universal basic income? | The Business | ABC NEWS

Australia essentially did it during COVID. The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, thinks it’s inevitable. And a growing body of research suggests it could be the answer to AI shattering long-held high rates of employment. A Universal Basic Income, or UBI, is a regular, obligation-free payment to everyone. There are different models, but those key elements endure in research studies and pilot projects around the world. Associate professor of economy and society at Macquarie University, Ben Spies-Butcher, says the JobKeeper and ‘Coronavirus Supplement’ received by millions during the pandemic shows we can create a payment that everyone is entitled to, which would let them live at least a “decent, basic” life. “COVID showed us how precarious the idea of employment is … how shaky those foundations are,” UBI proponent Elise Klein says. The associate professor of public policy at the Crawford School at the Australian National University says COVID provided a “natural experiment” of the impact of a basic income.

The Stanford University Basic Income Lab has tallied about 160 global UBI experiments in the last four decades. They range in the objective they are focused on, the number of people in the study, and the value of the money they receive. While support is growing for a universal basic income, skeptics say it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars and change human behaviours. Simon Cowan, research director at think tank the Centre for Independent Studies, points to studies that show people who were allowed to withdraw super under emergency provisions in COVID spent it on gambling, alcohol and takeaway food.

How Apple’s New iPhone Chips Enable On-Device AI

iPhone Air was the big star unveiled by Apple in early September, but inside was another hardware set launched that day: three new custom Apple microchips. Apple’s A19 Pro SoC prioritizes AI workloads with neural accelerators added to the GPU cores. Replacing Broadcom and Qualcomm parts is the N1 and C1X, Apple’s first iPhone networking chip and second generation iPhone modem. CNBC sat down with three Apple executives for the first U.S. interviews about its move to control all core iPhone chips.
