OpenAI Teams Up for $500B AI Data Center Project

OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle are building AI-focused data centers in the U.S. as part of a $500 billion project called The Stargate Project.

The first site will be in Texas, with plans to expand nationwide.

It promises to create jobs and boost U.S. AI infrastructure but raises environmental concerns.

Oscar Contender Faces Fire for Using AI in Production

Oscar contender The Brutalist, starring Adrien Brody, is under fire for its use of AI in production.

The film used generative AI to refine Hungarian accents in dialogue and create architectural designs, saving time and money on its $6 million budget.

The editor, Dávid Jancsó, defended the decision, stating AI only enhanced minor details and preserved actor performances.

However, critics argue this undermines artistic integrity, with some calling for the film’s disqualification from Oscar consideration.

The controversy has sparked heated debates on social media, with many accusing the film of compromising creativity for convenience.

Supporters of AI argue that these tools are no different from other digital enhancements commonly used in filmmaking.

Despite the backlash, The Brutalist remains highly praised for its storytelling and performances, though it’s unclear how the Oscars will respond to the growing criticism.
