Though Universal has been developing a remake of David Cronenberg?s Videodrome since at least 2009, things got a step closer to reality (which seems like an odd word to use in regards to the movie) today with ads director Adam Berg scoring the job of directing.

Back when it was first announced, all we knew was that Arlington Road / Transformers: Dark Of The Moon writer Ehren Kruger had been engaged to craft the new script, which would apparently update the film?s original premise to include nano-technology.

Cronenberg?s trippy, bloody 1983 original saw James Woods as a sleazy cable TV boss who discovers a weird show called Videodrome. The pulsating signal begins to inflict him with visions and genetic mutations

Way to ruin a vision. This remake wont work for a simply reason: It has nothing to do with the 'new-flesh' revision of humanity that Cronemberg did across many of his films.

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
