AIThree upcoming films, Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning, Alex Gibney's Musk, and Luca Guadagnino's Artificial, critically examine tech leaders Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman. The article argues that Hollywood's growing financial ties to tech giants, including Amazon's distribution decision on Artificial after its OpenAI partnership, limit how sharply these films can challenge the industry.

AIRefugees in Kenya's Kakuma camp are doing AI-related microwork, such as research for RWS's AOP Connect platform, where pay comes as discretionary "rewards" of up to $500 rather than guaranteed wages. Interviews with more than two dozen refugees found most earn far less than the maximum, and entry-level remote tech work is shrinking. Refugees who are unable to legally work in Kenya say they accept these gigs despite opaque pay criteria.

AINous Research, developer of the open source Hermes Agent, raised a $90 million Series B at a $1.5 billion valuation led by Robot Ventures.
