Netflix shows will, and already do, feature AI-generated scenes

The recent improvements in AI agents — models that can perform complex tasks on computers — only further risks putting many people out of work.
As with many technological advancements before — the camera, the record player, and the automobile jump to mind — AI will face strict condemnation. However, AI is here to stay, and will power many devices of the future. Netflix, in my eyes, is just one of the first to adopt a practice that is about to become very commonplace.

Samsung wants to expand its phones' AI chops beyond Google's Gemini
Samsung's big AI push came with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series last year, and its Galaxy AI suite has expanded in features ever since, powered by Google's Gemini - for now, at least. Today, Choi Won-Joon, president and chief operating officer of Samsung's mobile division, has told Reuters that the company is very open to alternatives. But, of course, only those that can provide its users with the best experiences. Samsung is already in talks with both OpenAI and Perplexity to integrate their respective AI services into upcoming smartphones, most likely starting with the Galaxy S26 family. Samsung is nearing a deal to invest in Perplexity and integrate both its app and assistant into its phones, a previous report claimed in June. And OpenAI is also in the running, but with no investment from Samsung. Choi said: "We're talking to multiple vendors. As long as these AI agents are competitive and can provide the best user experiences, we are open to any AI agent out there". While speaking about Apple's rumored entry into the foldable smartphone space, which Samsung has dominated so far, Choi thinks this move would be beneficial for the entire industry. The company is also evaluating both the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and the Exynos 2600 for the Galaxy S26 range, and it sounds like a final decision hasn't been made yet.

Samsung's next Galaxy phones could bring more AI choices, in addition to Google's Gemini
Referential image of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. | Image credit — PhoneArena Samsung is planning to bring more AI options to its upcoming Galaxy phones. Right now, the company uses Google's Gemini AI on devices like the Galaxy S25 and Z Fold devices, but that might change soon. According to a new report from Bloomberg, Samsung is talking to other AI companies — including OpenAI and Perplexity AI — about working together on future Won-Joon, who runs Samsung's mobile division, told Bloomberg that the company is in talks with several AI providers. His goal is to offer Galaxy users more choices. He explained that Samsung is open to using any AI agent, as long as it offers a strong experience. Samsung already uses Gemini for many features on its Galaxy devices, like Circle to Search and AI-powered editing tools. But as reported back in June, the company has been exploring ways to rely less on Google. That includes looking at outside partners like Perplexity AI, a company that blends AI chat answers with real-time web results. Samsung is reportedly close to investing in Perplexity, which could lead to deeper integration in upcoming Galaxy models.

Samsung may also be considering OpenAI — the company behind ChatGPT — as another possible partner. This would be a big move and would follow Apple's recent decision to let users choose between AI providers like ChatGPT and Gemini on iPhones. Beyond software, Samsung is also reviewing its hardware plans. The Galaxy S26 may feature either Qualcomm's next Snapdragon processor or the company's own Exynos 2600 chip. Samsung often uses both, depending on region and model. For example, its flagships might use only Snapdragon chips, while other models used a mix of the two. By working with multiple AI companies, Samsung hopes to offer a more flexible experience for users. It's part of a larger trend across the tech industry, where companies want to give people more control over which AI tools they use. That approach could make Samsung phones more appealing to people who want AI to feel more personal or transparent. Still, the challenge will be figuring out how these different AI systems work together on the same phone. Whether it's Google, OpenAI, or Perplexity, Samsung will need to make sure the overall experience stays smooth and easy to use.

Elon Musk wants to revive Vine but with artificial intelligence
Elon Musk plans to bring back the legendary video-sharing app Vine, but in a way fit for modern times. The revived version of the short-form video platform may be infused with artificial intelligence. The billionaire owner of the social media platform X said in a tweet this Thursday that Vine will return 'in AI form.' Musk didn't share any further details about his plans for the app. When asked for more information by Reuters, X, formerly Twitter, didn't immediately respond. We're bringing back Vine, but in AI form — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 24, 2025 Vine was released in 2013, offering a platform for videos of up to six seconds. The app quickly gained popularity and, at its peak, had over 200 million active users. The success was short-lived as Twitter discontinued the app in 2017, citing commercial viability. After closing the app, Twitter kept its archive available for another two years, but the memory lived on. Now, Vine is remembered as the first king of short-form video. Its six-second looping videos often went viral and essentially set the scene for the success of TikTok. The most prolific type of Vine celebrities were comedians and creatives who managed to fit their ideas in the restrictive format. Some of the celebrities who started on Vine are David Dobrik, Shawn Mendes, and Logan Paul. That's not the first time Musk has hinted at reviving Vine. Back in 2022, just days after purchasing Twitter, Musk reportedly instructed the company's engineers to work on the app. Around that time, Musk published a poll on the topic, which got a response from the YouTube star MrBeast, who said it'd be hilarious if Vine competed with TikTok. Since then, Musk has signaled interest in reviving Vine multiple times. The latest occasions were an April 2024 poll and a response to a tweet in January 2025. In the latter, Musk said his teams 'are looking into it,' as a response to a user's suggestion that it's time to bring back Vine. I'd love to see the return of Vine, especially if the app keeps the six-second restriction. Just like Twitter's original 140-character limit, I think that limit was an essential part of what made the platform so fun and creative. However, I am very sceptical about AI video, and seeing a version of Vine full of AI slop would be the greatest injury to the app's legacy.
