âšď¸ Down for the Count: AMCâs App and Website Crash During Ticket Presales
The website and app for AMC Theatersâthe worldâs largest movie theater chainâboth chucked the deuces for a few hours on the day ticket presales for the highly anticipated Dune: Part Two (in theaters March 1) was scheduled.
Makes you wonder how a company like AMC was underprepared for the website and app traffic it received knowing how anticipated this film is. But! Things happen. The issue was eventually resolved, and ticket presales continued as planned.
2024 is looking like a great year for movies.
âšď¸ Elon Making Strides in âŚNeurotechnology?
When you think of Elon Musk, the first thing you probably think of is Tesla. Understandable.
Then thereâs Starlinkâanother one of his massively successful companies. Â
But have you heard of Nueralink?
Itâs Muskâs neurotechnology company that just recently (as in January of this year) successfully implanted a computer chip into a human brain.
Yes, the brain of a living human. Yes, the person made a full recovery. Yes, this is real.
Apparently, the chip listens to brainwaves as the person is thinking about things. Those waves then translate into action which is carried out without them having to do anything except form a thought.
In some ways, this type of progress can be seen as beneficial. But, in many other ways, there could be some real repercussions we arenât ready for.
Weâd really like to get you allâs thoughts on this.
Is placing computer chips in human brains something youâre excited about seeing happen? Do you think it will actually continue or this case is just a one-time, âletâs just see what happensâ type of thing? Let us know in the comments.
