Film (2024). When a man returns to Australia to buy back his family home after many years in the US, he is humiliated in front of his teenage son by a group of local surfers who claim ownership over the secluded beach of his childhood.

Wounded, he defies them and remains at the beach, demanding acceptance. As the conflict escalates, he is brought right to the edge of his sanity and his entire identity is thrown into question.

Starring Nicolas Cage, Julian McMahon, Nic Cassim and Miranda Tapsell.

From ’s four-star review of The Surfer :

As the unnamed surfer of the title, Cage’s vibrantly dyed ginger lead plays a man determined to reclaim his roots after decades away in California, where his accent presumably got lost. Wanting to reconnect with his teenage son (Finn Little) – despite his ex-wife (on the phone) being pissed he pulled him out of school – he hopes to snap up his childhood home, newly on the market.

But the surfer falls foul of the overheated Australian market, forced to beg for more financing with Rahel Romahn’s real estate shark unwilling to buy him time. Read more …

How Much Could Intel Save by Harnessing AI for Marketing?

Image
Intel Corp (NASDAQ: INTC) is pushing meaningfully to the upside this morning following reports that the struggling chipmaker plans on outsourcing marketing to artificial intelligence (AI). The multinational has partnered with the Dublin headquartered Accenture Plc (NYSE: ACN) that plans on using AI to replace many of INTC’s marketing jobs. Intel’s move is reportedly a part of its broader commitment to lower costs and cruise swiftly toward profitability. At the time of writing, Intel shares are up some 23% versus their year-to-date low. Intel to save millions from using AI for marketing INTC is convinced that tapping into Accenture’s AI technology will help efficiently transform data into information, personalize customer experiences, and automate processes over time.

What AI Can Really Do Now: 6 Key Lessons for Mastering Artificial Intelligence

Image
I'd be happy if by the time I retire, we have [ artificial intelligence ] systems that are as smart as a cat," Yann LeCun , Meta 's chief AI scientist, Turing Award winner and one of the founding fathers of deep learning, tells as part of an ongoing series of conversations about the future of AI , "and that retirement is coming fast, by the way, so I don't have much time." LeCun sees the extraordinary promise of AI on the horizon. But so far we haven't seen this degree of success. While venture capital and corporate investment pours billions of dollars into AI dream factories promising revolutionary transformations—whether it's curing cancer or finally taming the email inbox—a stark reality persists: Most artificial intelligence initiatives collapse under their own ambitions. The gulf between technological marvel and practical utility resembles a paradise island ringed by shipwrecks—the quest for supreme omniscience has left th...
