Watch as the Star of ‘Murderbot' Finally, Begrudgingly Learns How to Speak Human

As Murderbot fans have realized by now, the titular SecUnit robot would much, much rather check the perimeter or binge-watch trashy soap operas than interact with the humans in its care. Do not expect eye contact! But as we're in the second half of the season, the self-aware AI and its team have bonded a bit as they've endured some major danger together—and it's not over yet.
In episode six, we saw Murderbot abruptly eliminate the 'hostile' who was only pretending to be the sole survivor of a mysterious attack on another human team surveying the same far-flung but apparently not so deserted planet (RIP, Leebeebee, you boundary-pushing backstabber). It had no choice, really, but the sudden burst of violence was a startling display for the gentle souls hailing from Preservation Alliance.
In this week's episode, 'Complementary Species,' the group realizes the manufactured habitat they've been calling home is no longer safe, so they gather up their things and prepare to go into hiding. But as you'll see in this clip, they're dilly-dallying a bit, so Murderbot—who they're still newly afraid of following the Leebeebee thing—offers encouragement both stern and soft. Well, soft-er, anyway.
Find out what happens next when Murderbot episode seven arrives Friday, June 20 on Apple TV+.

Midjourney 推出首個 AI 影片生成模型 V1，正式進軍生成影片服務行列

雖然大家都經常玩 ChatGPT 的圖像生成功能，但說到元祖級、最強的 AI 圖像生成服務，必定是Midjourney，而他們在星期三宣布推出首款 AI 影片創作模型 V1，正式進軍生成影片服務行列。用戶只需上傳一張圖片或相片，就能自動生成一條約 4 – 5 秒長的影片。 上傳相片後，V1 可以很簡單地用自動方式生成影片，當然亦有提供一些設定讓用戶去調整，例如使用手動模式以文字描述想要加入的特定動畫效果，又或者調整鏡頭走向等。Midjourney V1 可由一張相片自動生成一條為 480p 解像度、約 5 秒長的影片，但其實用戶在生成後可延長影片四秒、最多四次，因此最長是可生成時長達 21 秒的影片。目前想體驗 V1 的話，每月USD $10 的 Basic 訂閱計劃就可以試用得到，而 USD $60 的 Pro 計劃與 USD $120 的 Mega 計劃用戶，則可在「Relax」模式下無限量地生成影片。Midjourney 表示將會在接下來的一個月內，重新評估影片模型的收費方案。 Introducing our V1 Video Model.

Google AI is worse at Pokemon than I was when I was 5 – taking 800 hours to beat the Elite 4 and having a breakdown when its HP got low

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you're someone who thinks AI is almost ready to take over the world, I have some good or bad (depending on your stance on things) news for you: Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro took over 800 hours to beat the 29-year-old children's game Pokemon Blue. There's a Twitch account called Gemini_Plays_Pokemon, a pale imitation of the incredible Twitch Plays Pokemon account that started this trend. First things first: how long did it take the AI to actually complete the game? Well, it was a staggering 813 hours. I feel like you could hit buttons randomly and beat the game faster than that. After some tweaks by the creator of this Twitch channel, the AI managed to halve its time to a still outrageous 406.5 hours. That is actually dead on half the time, which is interesting mathematically but still far too long to beat a game you can win with an overleveled Venusaur. Additionally, as spotted by our friends at PC Gamer, Google DeepMind reported on the Twitch account, and something unusual happens whenever its Pokemon get low on health or power points (PP). Whenever one or both of these conditions are met, "model performance appears to correlate with a qualitatively observable degradation in the model's reasoning capability – for instance, completely forgetting to use the pathfinder tool in stretches of gameplay while this condition persists." This, combined with the AI mistakenly thinking it was playing FireRed and LeafGreen and would need to find the Tea to progress, are part of the reasons it took so long to finish. Honestly, AI just isn't very good at playing Pokemon. Someone else made Claude Plays Pokemon, and that AI spent hours trying to get out of Cerulean city because it kept jumping down a ledge to talk to an NPC it had already spoken to dozens of times. So, these AIs aren't able to beat a game that we could when we barely knew our times tables. Let's not worry about them taking our jobs any time soon. In the meantime, check out the best Pokemon games of all time.

Everything you need to know about Foundation season 3

By Aman Shukla Published on June 22, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 22, 2025, 15:42 IST Hey, sci-fi fans! Foundation Season 3 is almost here, and it's shaping up to be a wild ride through Isaac Asimov's galaxy-spanning universe. Apple TV+'s epic adaptation has us hooked, and with a confirmed premiere date, fresh faces joining the cast, and a big bad villain stealing the spotlight, there's a lot to unpack. So, grab a coffee, and let's dive into everything we know about Foundation Season 3. Foundation Season 3 Release Date Circle July 11, 2025, on your calendar, because that's when Foundation Season 3 hits Apple TV+. We're getting 10 episodes, kicking off with the premiere, then rolling out every Friday until the big finale on September 12, 2025. It's the perfect summer binge, going head-to-head with heavyweights like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 and Squid Game Season 3. Trust me, you'll want to clear your Friday nights for this one. Foundation Season 3 Plot Details Season 3 jumps 152 years after Season 2's cliffhanger, and the galaxy's in a whole new mess. The Foundation's no longer a scrappy underdog—it's a powerhouse now. But the Cleonic Dynasty? Yeah, their Galactic Empire's crumbling faster than a bad hologram. Enter the season's big bad: The Mule, a warlord with scary-good psychic powers and an army that could make Darth Vader sweat. Played by Pilou Asbæk (you know, that guy from Game of Thrones ), The Mule's out to conquer everything, and the trailer's giving us chills with psychic showdowns against Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell). We're also seeing Brother Day (Lee Pace, still stealing scenes) scheming like the galaxy's shadiest politician. Oh, and Hari Seldon's legacy (Jared Harris, being all wise and digital) gets a boost with a new psychohistorian, Dr. Ebling Mis, digging into his work. The show's pulling from Asimov's Foundation and Empire , especially The Mule's arc, but it's not afraid to go off-book. Remember Demerzel's backstory in Season 2? That was pure TV magic, and Season 3's mixing more of that original spice with classic Asimov vibes. Expect alliances crumbling, space battles that'll make your jaw drop, and twists that'll have you yelling at your screen. Foundation Season 3 Cast Foundation Season 3 boasts a stellar returning cast alongside exciting new additions: Returning Cast : Lee Pace as Brother Day, the charismatic and cunning emperor of the Cleonic Dynasty. Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, the psychohistorian whose predictions guide the Foundation. Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, a key figure in the Foundation's mission. Laura Birn as Demerzel, the enigmatic robot with a rich backstory. Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, a pivotal Cleon figure. Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn, navigating the dynasty's decline. Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, whose fate is tied to The Mule's rise. Rowena King as Queen Sareth, adding political intrigue. New Cast : Pilou Asbæk ( Game of Thrones ) as The Mule, the season's primary antagonist. Cherry Jones ( Succession ) as Foundation Ambassador Quent, a diplomatic powerhouse. Troy Kotsur ( CODA ) in a yet-to-be-revealed role, bringing his Oscar-winning talent. Brandon P. Bell ( Dear White People ) as a new character adding depth to the story. Alexander Siddig ( Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ), transitioning from Advocate Xylas to Dr. Ebling Mis, a Seldon devotee. Cody Fern ( American Horror Story ), Synnøve Karlsen ( Last Night in Soho ), and Tómas Lemarquis ( Blade Runner 2049 ) in undisclosed roles. This ensemble ensures Foundation Season 3 delivers powerhouse performances, with The Mule's casting generating significant buzz among fans.
