The scene is from Carrying the Dragon King’s Baby, one of the many hundreds of short dramas that appear on apps like DramaWave and ReelShort. There’s just something about this one that isn’t quite right. The lighting may be glossy and cinematic, but the show has an odd visual texture like something between a movie and a video game cutscene.  That’s because Carrying the Dragon King’s Baby is part of a new trend for making these shows entirely with AI: no actors, camera operators, cinematographers, or CGI specialists required. China’s short drama industry has boomed since its launch, in 2018.…

Yesterday, Instagram globally released a new feature called “Instants” that’s designed for sharing authentic, disappearing photos. While the Meta-owned social network billed Instants as a new format to share real-life moments as they’re happening, many users are looking for a way to turn off the feature, especially those who have ended up accidentally sending images to others, not fully understanding how the feature works.  When you open up Instagram’s new Instants section for the first time by tapping the mini photo stack in the bottom-right corner of your inbox, the app opens up a brief introduction about the feature that…

Running a small business in the UK has become more expensive and more unpredictable, but many owners enjoy their work more than they did in traditional jobs. Research from VistaPrint and YouGov, based on 643 UK small business owners, found that 80% are happy running their business. A total of 77% said they are happier working for themselves than they were in traditional employment. The research was published during a year when owners dealt with income uncertainty and when hiring was an issue.

Spotify announced on Thursday that it plans to embrace Apple’s HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) video technology, which Apple recently introduced on Apple Podcasts to enhance the video experience. The adoption means that Spotify-hosted shows will soon be able to distribute and monetize their video podcasts on Apple Podcasts, expanding creator reach without requiring any changes to their existing setups.  With the adoption of HLS, Spotify listeners should be able to enjoy a consistently high-quality video experience, no matter their internet connection. As Apple explains, HLS technology automatically adjusts video quality in real time based on network speed, whether users are…

One of the biggest challenges in aging and disease research is tracking down senescent cells. These cells — often called “zombie cells” — stop dividing but refuse to die off normally. Over time, they can build up in the body and have been linked to conditions including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and the aging process itself. Scientists have been exploring ways to remove or repair these harmful cells, but there has been a major obstacle. Researchers have struggled to reliably identify senescent cells hiding among healthy cells in living tissue. DNA Aptamers Help Researchers Identify Senescent Cells A team at Mayo…

Earlier this week, hackers hijacked several open source projects used by dozens of companies and pushed updates designed to spread malware. This is the latest in a string of recent supply-chain attacks targeting software developers and their projects. On Wednesday, OpenAI confirmed that two employees had their devices “impacted by this attack.” But, after an investigation, the company said in a blog post that it found “no evidence that OpenAI user data was accessed, that our production systems or intellectual property were compromised, or that our software was altered.” OpenAI said that employees’ devices were compromised by an earlier attack…

Short-form video is a format that’s built for mobile — these vertically oriented videos are designed to fit the shape of a smartphone. But according to YouTube, this kind of content has become quite popular on the big screen. It seems counterintuitive, but the data is hard to argue against: YouTube viewers watch over 2 billion hours of YouTube Shorts — the platform’s clips that run up to three minutes — on TVs each month. “The living room is YouTube’s fastest-growing screen, and the Shorts experience is further helping connect viewers with the world’s most active creator community from the…
