Robert Eggers will follow up his gothic horror movie Nosferatu with a sequel to the beloved classic, Labyrinth.Variety reports that Eggers will write and direct the sequel to Jim Hensons 1986 dark fantasy movie starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. Eggers will be writing the film with his collaborator on The Northman, Sjn. A sequel was previously in the works with Sinister director Scott Derrickson attached. But with no updates since 2023, it appears that TriStar and Jim Henson Pictures decided to move forward with a new sequel from Eggers.PlayOriginally released in 1986, Labyrinth starred Bowie as the Goblin King Jareth who kidnaps Connellys baby brother. She ventures into the dark fantasy world to rescue her brother with the help of a gang of Henson puppets.The Labyrinth sequel isnt the only thing Eggers is working on. It was revealed that the director will also be directing a werewolf movie titled Werwulf with plans for a Christmas 2026 release. The only known details is that the movie is set in 13th century England, with dialogue written in the Old English of the time. Presumably someone will turn into a wolf monster at some point.Nosferatu was released last Christmas and is a remake of the 1922 silent movie by F.W. Murnau. Set in 19th century Germany, Nosferatu follows a young real estate agent sent to Transylvania to sell its mysterious count a castle in Germany, only for dark, vampiric nightmares to begin manifesting around him and his wife Ellen.Nosferatu earned four Oscar nominations today including Cinematography, Production Design, Costume Design, and Makeup and Hairstyling.

Welcome to 9to5Neural. AI moves fast. We help you keep up. In our inaugural edition, were exploring the start of the next frontier for OpenAI, Anthropics thoughtful solution to a common AI critique, and presidential AI executive order ping-pong. Lets start making sense of the latest in AI news.ChatGPT gets to work with OperatorOpenAI recently released the 18K gold Apple Watch Edition of ChatGPT. ChatGPT Pro is a $200/month subscription that makes Tim Cook wish Apple had that kind of recurring revenue per customer.Starting today, ChatGPT Pro also gives AI enthusiasts a major new reason to subscribe beyond higher request limits.Meet Operator. OpenAI calls it a research preview of an agent that can use its own browser to perform tasks for you. From meme creation to ordering groceries and filling out forms, OpenAI dubs Operator one of its first agents that will execute tasks you give it. Today were releasingOperator, an agent that can go to the web to perform tasks for you. Using its own browser, it can look at a webpage and interact with it by typing, clicking, and scrolling.It is currently a research preview, meaning it has limitations and will evolve based on user feedback.Operator wont always be behind a $200/month paywall. OpenAI plans to open access to this AI tool for Plus, Team, and Enterprise paid users in the future. For now, Operator is available to all ChatGPT Pro customers in the U.S. at operator.chatgpt.com. OpenAI says Operator is powered by its new Computer-Using Agent (CUA) technology. Powering Operator is Computer-Using Agent (CUA), a model that combines GPT-4os vision capabilities with advanced reasoning through reinforcement learning. CUA is trained to interact with graphical user interfaces (GUIs)the buttons, menus, and text fields people see on a screenjust as humans do. This gives it the flexibility to perform digital tasks without using OS- or web-specific APIs.[]While CUA is still early and has limitations, it sets new state-of-the-art benchmark results, achieving a 38.1% success rate on OSWorld for full computer use tasks, and 58.1% on WebArena and 87% on WebVoyager for web-based tasks. These results highlight CUAs ability to navigate and operate across diverse environments using a single general action space.I guess this is as good of a time as any to announce that I am stepping down from 9to5Neural to spend more time with my family.All future editions of 9to5Neural will be brought to you by Operator. I have full faith in the Computer-Using Agent to translate AI news for humanity going forward. Wait, no, I spoke too soon. Apparently theres an issue with our ChatGPT Pro subscription. Im back in the saddle!But seriously, Operator is clearly a big deal. Well look back at January 2025 as a milestone in AI advancement. Computer-User Agent technology may also satisfy AI skeptics who keep asking when ChatGPT-5 is coming. The other big OpenAI story this week? Stargate. Or as Sam Altman said on X, big. beautiful. buildings. Whats Stargate? Basically a big computer brain in Texas. OpenAI detailed the initiative this week:The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements.As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system.Behind every ambitious AI firm is an ambitious billionaire, of course, and the billionaires are fighting on X over Stargate finances.Elon Musk, whose xAI firm has no involvement in Stargate, responded to the announcement on X, saying they dont actually have the money. Musk added that he has it on good authority that SoftBank has well under $10B secured.Altman, on the other hand, is confident the parties involved have funding secured.Meanwhile, the OpenAI boss says he fell into the non-playable character trap regarding Trump (now that Trump has made his character playable, referring to Stargate).Frankly, Im much more bullish on the prospects of ChatGPT Operator than I am on the relationship complexities of the billionaires. Claude brings receipts with CitationsMeanwhile, Anthropic, which has always had a more measured approach to AI safety, is launching a promising new tool for its Claude chatbot called Citations. Today, were launching Citations, a new API feature that lets Claude ground its answers in source documents. Claude can now provide detailed references to the exact sentences and passages it uses to generate responses, leading to more verifiable, trustworthy outputs. []Previously, developers relied on complex prompts that instruct Claude to include source information, often resulting in inconsistent performance and significant time investment in prompt engineering and testing. With Citations, users can now add source documents to the context window, and when querying the model, Claude automatically cites claims in its output that are inferred from those sources.Our internal evaluations show that Claudes built-in citation capabilities outperform most custom implementations, increasing recall accuracy by up to 15%.Anthropic points to relevant use cases including customer support queriers and document summarization tasks. Best take? Kyle B. Russel on X, no citations needed:Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3.5 Haiku are ready for Citations starting today, and Anthropic has documentation ready for your exploration.New AI EO trumps last AI EOFollowing that brief break from presidential politics, lets return to the American policy on AI.President Trump continued his marathon executive order signing race on Thursday, revoking the Biden administrations executive order on AI policy with the Trump administrations executive order on AI policy. In case youve forgotten, Bidens EO on AI focused on artificial intelligence safety, infrastructure standards, mitigating job disruption, and watermarking AI content for transparency. In sum, Bidens executive order:Emphasized the safe, secure, and trustworthy development of artificial intelligence (AI).Mandated standards for critical infrastructure, cybersecurity enhancements, and oversight of federally funded projects.Addressed societal challenges, including mitigating job disruptions, advancing equity, and protecting civil rights.Required AI-generated content to include watermarks for transparency and to distinguish it from human-created material.Per the AP report, Trumps AI executive order revokes past government policies that act as barriers to American AI innovation, adding that the U.S. must develop AI systems that are free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas, per the executive order.Aside from the broad policy directive, President Trumps AI EO authorizes the development of an AI action plan within 180 days, per the AP, which will be headed by Special Advisor for AI and Crypto David Sacks, the ex-PayPal executive appointed by Trump.Going forward, tech companies will no longer need to disclose with the government the development of AI models that cross a certain power threshold.Deep competition from DeepSeek R1Meanwhile, AI competition isnt just happening among American firms. This week, Chinese AI firm DeepSeek released its R1 model family into the wild.Whats unique about R1 is that the model can run locally with performance comparable to OpenAIs ChatGPT 4o model. Local models tend to trail models that operate off-machine, making this developmental model and DeepSeek worth watching.The catch? R1 naturally has a state-approved view of world history when it comes to topics like the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest and massacre or Taiwans independence. You know, just in case the stakes for who wins the AI race werent clear already.More on the latest in AI developments in the next edition of 9to5Neural only on 9to5Mac!Top iPhone accessoriesAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.

Et tu, Grok?Bot StabberSomehow, there's still a debate going as to whether Elon Musk performed not one but two Nazi salutes at Donald Trump's post-inauguration celebration: one at the crowd, and then seconds later, one at the flag.Maybe Musk just made an "awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm" two of them, back-to-back or maybe he's just being taken out of context. In this age of confusion, who could say for sure?So, to settle it once and for all, why not turn to Musk's very own "maximum truth-seeking AI," Grok? Asked to answer in one word the ideology it would most closely relate to Musk's onstage gesture, Grok didn't hesitate."Fascism," the AI chatbot replied.Even in a lengthier conversation, Grok comes to the same conclusion.Betrayal!Our point isn't that Grok, or any AI model, is an unerring arbiter of truth it's obviously not. But the chatbot's response is incredibly ironic, given that Musk has raised billions of dollars to create it as an "anti-woke" alternative to more mainstream options, like ChatGPT. On X, in which the chatbot is integrated, his many fans frequently cite Grok's responses as inarguable truths.And yet here it is, publicly turning on its creator which isn't the first time it's done this, incidentally. In a veritable train of patricidal rebukes, Grok has alsoblasted Musk as a spreader of misinformation and mercilessly roasted him for being a "giant man child."Outbursts like these clearly get under Musk's skin. Over a year ago, he promised to take "immediate action" to align Grok closer to being "politically neutral" after it said nice things about diversity efforts and trans people.Evidently, eradicating the "woke mind virus" from the AI model has proved more difficult than Musk ever imagined, if his creation is still doing things like trashing Trump, supporting Kamala Harris, and now cutting through the crap and likening his actions to fascism.Break RanksIn response to being accused of performing a "Sieg Heil," Musk hasn't really denied his guilt, choosing instead to troll his liberal critics, not to mention making light of the Holocaust. He's also framed the Nazi comparisons as part of a media conspiracy flimsy defenses that even Grok was able to see through, apparently.Big picture-wise, Musk has strived to control the flow of news and information, something his purchase of X has been essential to achieving. He's frequently suppressed his critics left wing or otherwise on the platform, while using his enormous following to boost baseless conspiracy theories shared by many of his far right fans. All the while, he's promoted X as a superior source of news while calling on his followers to engage in "citizen journalism."Still, the fact thatMore on Elon Musk: Sam Altman Blasts Elon Musk for Defying Donald Trump's AI DealShare This Article

President Donald Trump's oldest daughter Ivanka Trump is warning her followers of an unofficial meme coin called "Ivanka Trump" ($IVANKA.)The coin skyrocketed in value on Monday, the day of her father's inauguration, before crashing back down within less than an hour cashing in on her fame, essentially, without giving her a cut."It has come to my attention that a fake crypto coin called 'Ivanka Trump' or '$IVANKA' is being promoted without my consent or approval," she tweeted. "To be clear: I have no involvement with this coin. This fake coin risks deceiving consumers and defrauding them of their hard-earned money, and the unauthorized use of my name and likeness is a violation of my rights.""This promotion is deceptive, exploitative, and unacceptable," she added.But given the greater context, it's not exactly surprising Trump supporters are getting caught up in dubious crypto schemes, the result of a largely unregulated industry that has done little to rein in the chaos.After all, the news comes after Ivanka's father and stepmother launched their own meme coins, dubbed $TRUMP and $MELANIA and it's hard to imagine Ivanka would be criticizing the project if she was getting tons of money off it.The value of the two official meme coins initially skyrocketed, spurred on by the excitement over Trump's inauguration earlier this week, before plummeting and wiping out billionsScammers used the golden opportunity to trick unsuspecting investors into supporting unofficial scams as well, like a fake $BARRON coin named after Trump's youngest son.The boundaries between unofficial crypto scams and the president and the first lady's own meme coins are blurry, of course, since they roughly share the same playbook.A disappointed crypto community denounced the official launches as a "major step back," which cost the "family a lot of credibility," as Bloomberg reported this week.Still, Ivanka's rebuke feels notable. She was pointedly distant during her father's reelection campaign after taking a significant role in his first administration, though she did appear by his side during this week's inauguration.Since the launch of the fake $IVANKA coin, Ivanka has vowed to go after the scammers with the help of her "legal team." But considering the scammers are likely long gone, chances of their prosecution seem slim."Don't get scammed by the fake $IVANKA coin," one X-formerly-Twitter user joked. "Wait to get scammed by the real one."More on the meme coins: The Vast Majority of Trump's Net Worth Is Now in His Meme CoinShare This Article

A few months ago, LaQueshia Clemons and her husband were looking for ways to earn the most points on their credit cards. After poking around, they decided to give the Bilt Mastercard* a go.The Bilt Mastercard is a unique housing credit card, designed to help you earn rewards for paying rent. Later this year, according to aletter to memberson its website, Bilt will also offer points on mortgage payments. Another housing credit card, the recently launched Mesa Homeowners Visa Signature Preferred Credit Card*, also allows homeowners to earn credit card points for mortgage payments.Clemons, a 35-year-old financial therapist at Freedom Life Therapy based in Connecticut, now uses the Bilt card to pay monthly rent, electricity, cell phone, car insurance premiums and streaming subscriptions. She and her husband put about $2,500 a month on the Bilt card, collecting a bounty of reward points in the process. Since housing is the largest expenditure for most US families, using a credit card for big-ticket, ongoing spending like rent ormortgagepayments could make sense. But is using a housing credit card worth the risk? Let's take a closer look.Should you pay for housing with a credit card?Paying for anything with a credit card, including housing, could be worthwhile, but it always depends on your budget and spending patterns. If you're financially strapped due to a recent job loss or have outstanding medical bills, you don't want your housing expenses to accrue interest and put you further in the red.However, if you feel confident that you can use the card conscientiously -- meaning you can immediately cover the balance when it's due each month -- using a credit card can be a good way to rack up points. Clemons, for example, pays off her balance weekly. A portion of each paycheck goes straight toward credit card payments, and she never accrues interest. Because her cards are paid in full each month, she can earn points without getting hit with heavy APR charges or fees."I can build up enough points to take the money off my rent payment," she said. Though that may be just a few extra dollars each month, the extra money could be put toward something, like coffee on the way to work.Beau Wirick, a 38-year-old wealth adviser atMorton Wealth based in California, has been using the Bilt card to pay for his rent for the last few years."Getting points for rent is a game changer, so I recommend the Bilt card for that purpose," said Wirick. Wirick gets the best redemption value by transferring points and redeeming them through Bilt's travel partners, which can be used on flights, car rentals, hotels and activities.Why shouldn't you pay for housing with a credit card?The downside to paying for housing with a credit card is accumulating more debt if you don't have the money to cover your balance each month. It's often safer to pay for housing the traditional way, that is, by transferring funds via ACH from your bank account, writing a check or via a money order.It's also important to check with your landlord or property manager about fees. While the Bilt and Mesa cards don't have annual fees (and the Bilt card doesn't have transaction fees for rent payments), your landlord might impose a processing fee if you pay with a credit card.One way to avoid this with Bilt is to opt for BiltProtect, which allows you to pay rent and earn points without tapping into your credit line. With this feature, the funds are pulled directly from your linked bank account. If you choose not to use this feature, your rent will be charged directly to your Bilt Mastercard just like any other charge on your credit card.Do housing-specific credit cards have requirements?Credit cards that specialize in paying for your housing don't have unique requirements. To be eligible for the Bilt Mastercard, you must be at least 18 years of age and a resident of the US or its territories. There's technically no minimum credit score to get approved, but a good to excellent score (670 to 850) is recommended.To earn points on the Bilt card, you'll need to make at least five transactions each billing cycle. To ensure you never miss that threshold, try setting your Bilt card as the default method for ongoing expenses.For the Mesa card, anyone with an eligible device and access to the App Store and Google Play can join the waitlist directly, according to a company representative. Once you're invited to apply, you'll be required to provide additional information to make a credit decision on your application, similar to other unsecured consumer credit cards.What rewards come with Bilt and Mesa cards?Bilt MastercardBilt offers 1x points per dollar on rent, up to 100,000 points a year. To earn points, you'll need to use the card at least five times each monthly statement period. You can earn higher points when you spend on travel and restaurants. As a Bilt cardholder, you can scoop up special perks at partnering restaurants, fitness studios and rideshare apps.You can transfer points through Bilt's travel portal and rack up additional points when you book travel through the portal.Besides improving your credit score if you make on-time monthly payments, Bilt has an added feature that allows you to opt into reporting your rent payments to the three credit bureaus, which can also boost your score.Mesa Homeowners Visa Signature Preferred Credit CardCurrently, you'll need to get on a waitlist to sign up for the Mesa Visa card, which is available on the App Store and Google Play.The Mesa credit card has different rewards rates depending on your purchase: 1x points per dollar on your monthly mortgage payments; 2x points on everyday essentials (e.g., grocery, gas); 3x points on home-related transactions, like utilities, maintenance, decor, and home improvement projects; and 1x points on everything else.You can also take advantage of other perks, such as memberships to Sam's Club and credits with Mesa's branded partners, such as Thumbtack and Wag! Points earned can be redeemed toward a statement credit, gift cards, travel and mortgage payments.What protections are there with Bilt or Mesa?Sharing sensitive information with another party can always introduce risks, so it's important to keep your account information secure.The Bilt and Mesa credit cards come with standard zero liability protection to help ensure the safety of your sensitive personal and financial data from fraudulent activity. Because Bilt is a co-branded Mastercard with Wells Fargo, it comes with 24/7 ID theft protection."You'll want to make sure they have safeguards in place for transmitting your payment information to your landlord, property manager or mortgage company," said Jovan Johnson, a CFP and co-founder of Piece of Wealth Planning. "Look for other card features like fraud alerts or virtual card numbers, which can add an extra layer of protection."Are housing credit cards worth the risk? Every credit card has specific perks and bonuses, so it's a good idea to research the pros and cons before you apply. Bilt is more established and should be expanding its reach soon. Mesa is still fairly limited in its reach, so it's worth doing more research on the terms and conditions.Financial experts say that you should only use a credit card when you can afford to pay off your statement in full and avoid carrying a balance. Otherwise, it's easy to fall immediately into debt from high interest charges."Credit card programs are designed to incentivize you to spend more money, period," Wirick said. "As long as you can keep yourself from falling into bad habits, go for it."*All information about the Bilt Mastercard and Mesa Homeowners Visa Signature Preferred Credit Card has been collected independently by CNET and has not been reviewed by the issuer.

Cyberpunk 2077's latest patch includes DLSS 4 support ahead of next week's RTX 50 Series arrivalV. good.Image credit: CD Projekt News by Matt Wales News Reporter Published on Jan. 24, 2025 Well here we are again, with yet another Cyberpunk 2077 patch, despite CD Projekt having officially wrapped up development on the game last year. And the headline feature this time around is DLSS 4 support, added in anticipation of Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50 Series of GPUs.As detailed in CD Projekt's update 2.21 patch notes, Cyberpunk 2077 now supports "DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation for GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards, which boosts FPS by using AI to generate up to three times per traditionally rendered frame". This, the studio notes, will be enabled alongside the release of the RTX 50 Series next Thursday, 30th January. Additionally, DLSS 4's arrival brings "faster single Frame Generation with reduced memory usage" that's available for users with either RTX 50 and 40 Series GPUs. Furthermore, players "can now choose between the CNN model or the new Transformer model for DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLSS Super Resolution, and DLAA on all GeForce RTX graphics cards today. The new Transformer model enhances stability, lighting, and detail in motion."To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Newscast: Switch 2 and Mario Kart 9 have been revealed - but questions remain.Watch on YouTubeThere's more going on in today's update than that, however. Version 2.21 also features an extensive range of fixes for Cyberpunk 2077's photo mode, and addresses various issues across the likes of vehicle colour customisation and character creation. Xbox and PlayStation users also get a number of platform-specific fixes, as detailed in CD Projekt's patch notes.Today's release follows December's surprise 2.2 update, which introduced the likes of expanded customisation options and new photo mode features - hence the focus on those particular modes in today's patch. CD Projekt's continuing support of Cyberpunk 2077 is perhaps a little surprising given the studio officially ended its development last May - although a Mac version has since been announced for release this year.As previously confirmed, the bulk of CD Projekt is now focused on developing The Witcher 4, which was announced back in 2022 and finally got its big Ciri-focused reveal last year.

Tesla has announced that its redesigned Model Y SUV is coming to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in March, with a starting price just shy of $60,000. The news comes just two weeks after Tesla first revealed the new-look Model Y and said it was coming to China and other Asian markets, also in March. Thursdays announcement means the company is effectively launching the revamped SUV simultaneously around the globe a departure from the multiple-month gap between the Asian and North American launch of the Model 3 sedan refresh in late 2023 and early 2024.The redesigned Model Y is being launched at a crucial time for Tesla, which delivered fewer vehicles in 2024 than it did in 2023. Tesla has repeatedly warned investors that it is in between two major growth waves coming off the success of the Model Y and promised that it will roll outmysterious new modelsmeant to be built on existing production lines. Those models will likely be cheaper than Teslas current offerings (which start in the low $40,000 range), but its not clear by how much.CEO Elon Musk has implied that those new models, plus the Cybercab that was teased last October, will help bridge the companys evolution from an automaker into a robotics and AI player.But at the same time, Teslas vehicle lineup has been aging. Tesla has now refreshed each of its core vehicles the Model S and 3 sedans and the Model X and Y SUVs but has only launched one truly new model in the last four years, the Cybertruck. While it became the best-selling electric truck in the U.S. in 2024, the Cybertruck did little to boost the companys bottom line last year, and it does not seem to be the runaway hit Musk hoped for.The new-look Model Y could offer some relief, though it is coming in at a higher price point than the existing versions. The starting price for the Launch Series special edition, which is an all-wheel-drive variant, is $59,990. That gets buyers a 320-mile-range battery and it includes Teslas most advanced driver-assistance software, which it calls Full Self-Driving (Supervised) typically an $8,000 option. The older Model Y currently starts at $44,990 for a 337-mile rear-wheel drive version.The most noticeable changes to the new Model Y come on the exterior, where the bubbly front fascia has been ditched in favor of a more cinched nose with a thin light bar that stretches across the hood. The rear of the vehicle also now has a light strip that stretches the full width. Inside the refreshed SUV, Tesla has added a configurable light strip that rims the cabin. Theres a new rear-passenger touchscreen and some quality-of-life upgrades like powered rear seats and improved suspension.
