Read MoreThe surge of artificial intelligence integration persists this week as Microsoft unveils the new, complimentary Bing Video Creator within the Bing mobile application.
Believe it or not, it has now been two years since Microsoft introduced the Bing Image Creator, granting users the capability to generate AI images directly via its search engine. This April, Microsoft enhanced its AI features with the launch of Copilot Search in Bing, and now, Bing users can create short videos using AI.
“Whether you’re unleashing your creativity, narrating a story, or seeking that ideal video to express your thoughts, Bing Video Creator empowers you with the ability to craft videos effortlessly,” the Bing team states. “We are thrilled to enable everyone to transform their text into magic through an AI-generated video.”
How to utilize Bing Video Creator
Microsoft indicates that Bing Video Creator will soon be available on desktop and via Copilot Search, but for now, it is exclusively accessible in the Bing mobile app on iOS and Android.
To get started with this new feature, launch the Bing app on your smartphone or tablet and tap on the menu icon in the lower-right corner. You should find a new option called “Video Creator” listed among the applications. Alternatively, you can simply begin typing “Create a video of…” in the search bar to initiate the process without navigating through menus.
Whichever method you prefer, you can then input a description of the video you wish to create and click “Create.” The Bing team notes that the more context and details you provide, the higher quality your AI-generated video will be. The time required for video generation will differ based on the prompt, but you will receive a notification once it is complete.
Videos created with Bing Video Creator are 5 seconds in duration and can be made in 9:16 format (with 16:9 format on the way). You can line up to three video creations simultaneously, and once the videos are finished generating, you have the option to download and share them. Furthermore, videos are stored for only 90 days, so be sure to determine what to do with them within that timeframe.
Read MorePrime Video is delving further into the depths with *The Terminal List: Dark Wolf*, a new origin narrative taking place prior to the storyline of the acclaimed original series. The Amazon-owned streaming platform has recently released first-look images and confirmed an Aug. 27 launch date for the action-laden prequel, which will debut with a triple episode premiere. Following that, viewers can anticipate new episodes each Wednesday, with the series concluding on Sept. 24.
This series brings back Taylor Kitsch as Ben Edwards, a former Navy SEAL whose evolution into CIA Special Operations sets the backdrop for the ethically ambiguous realm that *The Terminal List* is recognized for. Chris Pratt also reprises his role as James Reece, joining Kitsch in a narrative that promises high-stakes espionage, realism in combat, and an examination of what compels honorable individuals to breach moral boundaries in the name of service.
The new series was co-created by Jack Carr — the ex-Navy SEAL-turned-bestselling novelist of *The Terminal List* — along with returning showrunner David DiGilio. This endeavor is rich in authenticity: Military veterans participated at nearly every stage, from scripting and producing to providing on-set counsel. The aim: to ensure the tone and tactics are accurate while delving into the psychological burden of covert missions.
Prime Video has gathered a robust supporting cast for the prequel, featuring *The Umbrella Academy’s* Tom Hopper as Raife Hastings, *The Wire’s* Robert Wisdom, *Westworld’s* Luke Hemsworth, and international talents such as Rona-Lee Shimon and Shiraz Tzarfati. With its emotional resonance and ground-level intensity, *The Terminal List: Dark Wolf* is set to amplify the franchise in a manner that should easily resonate with enthusiasts of military thrillers — and in a way that continues Prime Video’s commitment to genre storytelling.
Read MoreIn contrast to speculation that Google contemplated launching the Pixel 10 earlier this year, a recent report indicates that the company is set to unveil its flagship device once more in August.
As per Android Headlines, Google is gearing up to hold the next Made by Google event on August 13, where the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold will make their appearances. The outlet also anticipates the introduction of the Pixel Watch 4 on the same day, though there’s less assurance regarding the wearable.
The site highlights that this coincides with the exact date when the Pixel 9 series was revealed in 2024. Unlike the previous year, Google is reportedly going to deliver the Pixel 10 phones exactly one week later, on August 20, which is two days earlier than the Pixel 9’s launch date.
Google has experienced its fair share of leaks throughout the years. If history is any indication, it won’t be long before the company officially reveals the event.
What we know about the Pixel 10
Addressing the topic of leaks, we have a clear understanding of what the Pixel 10 series may look like, thanks to comprehensive design leaks from earlier this year. Overall, Google’s upcoming phones are expected to mirror their predecessors closely, having nearly identical dimensions, similar screen sizes, and retaining the horizontal Camera Bar.
Furthermore, images of a Pixel 10 Pro prototype from a Chinese social media platform were posted online by Mystic Leaks (via 9to5Google) on Monday, providing insight into some of the subtle modifications planned for the high-end device. These changes include the glass covering the rear cameras extending nearer to the edges of the Camera Bar and the SIM card tray relocating to the top-left edge of the device. Again, nothing significant, but Pixel 9 users are likely to observe the differences.
The most notable change will probably be in the chip, as Google is anticipated to upgrade to the Tensor G5 this generation. Android Authority notes that while it may not bring a substantial performance increase over the Tensor G4, it will still offer enhanced speed.
Read MoreLast week, Meta finally unveiled WhatsApp for iPad. It nearly took two years for Mark Zuckerberg’s firm to accomplish this, but who’s really counting? Thankfully, it appears that the rollout of Instagram for iPad won’t follow the same excessively protracted schedule.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, “employees at Meta’s campus are fervently testing Instagram for the iPad, and development is in full swing.” The journalist indicates that the company plans to launch the app “later this year.”
One factor that delayed the Instagram for iPad launch was a worry regarding “square images and how they would appear on an iPad.” Now that the technology has “caught up,” Meta no longer sees a need to postpone the release of one of the largest iPhone applications on Apple’s tablets.
From a user’s perspective, this could be ideal for creators and businesses, as they will have a larger display to ensure their posts appear as sharp as possible. Meta has long needed to establish a suitable Instagram experience for iPads instead of requiring users to rely on a web app.
With WhatsApp, the firm was sufficiently thoughtful to provide an appropriate iPad experience, and it appears the same will be true for Instagram.
While Gurman has disclosed the plan for the WhatsApp for iPad release and is now turning attention to the Instagram app, a report from The Information suggested that the motive behind this initiative was the potential TikTok ban. Regardless of whether the Chinese app is removed from the US again, this conflict might be enough to persuade some users and creators to switch (back) to Instagram. Introducing a new option, like Instagram for iPad, could draw more individuals over.
The Instagram app for iPad might even enable new content formats for larger screens, such as a push for landscape videos. Recently, Instagram extended the length of reels from 90 seconds to three minutes, and longer videos are generally more suited for landscape orientation.
Read MoreTwo years following the devastating deep-sea voyage that captivated the globe, Netflix is poised to unveil “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster,” a documentary that revisits the Titan submersible’s implosion while also providing insight into the individual behind its development. Scheduled to launch next week on the streaming platform, the film dives beneath the surface of the calamity to examine the intersection of ambition and arrogance at the ocean’s depths.
In June 2023, five individuals boarded the Titan for what was meant to be an expedition to the submerged wreckage of the Titanic. However, the vessel ultimately disappeared — leading to a significant search operation that captured worldwide attention; tragically, debris discovered on the ocean floor confirmed that an implosion during the Titan’s descent likely resulted in the instantaneous death of everyone aboard. Yet even as the news coverage subsided, the more profound inquiry persisted: How did this occur, and why was there an inability to prevent what, with the benefit of hindsight, seems to have been a preventable disaster?
Helmed by director Mark Monroe, the film assembles the chronological events that contributed to the disaster by reflecting on OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush — a dynamic visionary who imagined a future of deep-sea tourism and took significant risks to achieve it. Utilizing exclusive footage, whistleblower testimonies, and insider discussions, the documentary reveals the ignored warnings, defective materials, and external pressures that influenced the ill-fated endeavor.
“When the Titan submersible was lost, I was both horrified and entranced by the nonstop news coverage and worldwide social reactions — just like the rest of humanity,” Monroe shared with Netflix’s Tudum. “There was no backdrop for what could have befallen those aboard, with the only connection being the Titanic, a narrative that has now turned into a dark fairy tale. The further I investigated this tragic event, the more fascinated I became with how this catastrophe could have occurred, and who precisely was the man who constructed and subsequently descended with this vessel.”
The Titan was not designed like most submersibles. Rather than utilizing reliable materials like titanium, Rush chose a carbon fiber structure that raised concerns. Consequently, the Netflix documentary does not solely concentrate on the sub’s engineering — it also examines Rush’s overarching mentality, the notion that advancement entails surpassing regulations even when lives are jeopardized.
With “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster,” Netflix continues its pattern of highlighting real-life occurrences that ignite global discussions. Similar to other recent documentaries from the platform that combine human narratives with investigative rigor, this one seeks to provide understanding into a tragedy that many feel could have been averted.
“Titan: The OceanGate Disaster” debuts on June 11 on Netflix.
Read MoreJune promises to be an exhilarating month for Netflix originals, with series such as Ginny & Georgia, Tires, FUBAR, and, undeniably, Squid Game all coming back with fresh seasons. These are set to premiere in the upcoming weeks, but there is still a wealth of content to enjoy in the interim, as Netflix introduced 29 new TV shows and films to its streaming collection on Sunday, June 1.
Instead of having you sift through everything on your own, we’ve compiled three of the most thrilling new entries that we believe should take precedence on your June watch list. The complete list is provided at the bottom for those interested.
Barbarian
The horror flick Barbarian from 2022, both written and directed by Zach Cregger in his first directorial venture, is bound to get your pulse racing. Georgina Campbell plays Tess, a woman who discovers a man named Keith (Bill Skarsgård) already occupying her Airbnb in Detroit. She opts to stay and ultimately uncovers a terrifying secret hidden in the basement.
The Birds
In April, Netflix revealed it would be including several of director Alfred Hitchcock’s most acclaimed films in its streaming catalog this June. While they are all definitely worth viewing, I’m inclined to suggest The Birds, a chilling thriller centered on mysterious bird attacks that would pair well with Barbarian for a solid double-feature.
Pokémon The Series: XY
A number of fans contend that Pokémon the Series: XY represents the pinnacle of the animated series. If you want to see for yourself, all 140 episodes are now available for streaming on Netflix, showcasing Ash Ketchum’s adventures in the Kalos region along with the debut of Mega Evolution.
With that covered, here’s the complete list of titles that became available on Netflix on June 1, 2025:
1. The American
2. Barbarian
3. Bee Movie
4. The Birds
5. The Blues Brothers
6. The Devil’s Own

11. Frenzy
12. The Great Outdoors
13. Hitchcock
14. Hop
15. The Legend of Zorro
16. The Man Who Knew Too Much
17. Neighbors
18. Now You See Me
19. Now You See Me 2
20. The Nutty Professor

If you’re in search of even more options to enjoy on Netflix this June, it’s a perfect time to catch up on the magician heist films Now You See Me and its follow-up before Now You See Me: Now You Don’t arrives in theaters on November 14, 2025.

Read MoreIf you’ve kept up with OpenAI and ChatGPT in recent years, you are likely aware of the significant growth the company has experienced and the advancements made by the AI. However, this merely marks the beginning. The chatbot is set to evolve into a personal assistant, with Jony Ive’s io (now part of OpenAI) producing the specific hardware.
OpenAI’s Sam Altman has repeatedly hinted at the future of ChatGPT, an AI that comprehends everything about you and can assist in numerous ways. The leaked information regarding the ChatGPT io device also aligns with this vision. The device will be positioned on desks, worn around our necks, or kept in our pockets, equipped with new social and ambient computing capabilities that enable it to function as an always-active assistant able to distinguish between different speakers.
OpenAI has not yet unveiled the device or the ChatGPT functionalities that would enable the chatbot to act as an assistant. For this to occur, the AI must access various applications on both mobile phones and computers, such as email, messaging, and calendars, along with mastering social nuances as part of the ambient computing layer being developed by OpenAI.
Nevertheless, the AI organization has now confirmed its intentions for a “super-assistant” through documentation submitted to the court in the Google antitrust lawsuit. These plans are notably ambitious as well. This is anticipated to take place this year, well ahead of the official announcement for the ChatGPT io hardware device.
The legal document (as reported by The Verge) titled “ChatGPT: H1 2025 Strategy” is extensively redacted, likely to hide certain information that OpenAI does not want disclosed to the public before an official launch. The document was drafted last year, as evidenced by its discussion of the two segments of 2025 in the context of OpenAI’s product development strategy.
However, several paragraphs remain unredacted in the document, clearly outlining OpenAI’s goals for ChatGPT this year:
In the first half of next year, we plan to transform ChatGPT into a super-assistant: one that understands you, knows what matters to you, and supports any task that a smart, reliable, emotionally intelligent individual with a computer could perform. The timing is appropriate. Models like o2 and o3 have finally reached a level of intelligence that allows them to consistently carry out agentic tasks, tools like computer usage will enhance ChatGPT’s capacity to act, and interaction methods such as multimodality and generative UI permit both ChatGPT and users to communicate in the most effective manner for the task at hand.
What does a super-assistant entail? It is an intelligent entity with T-shaped competencies. It’s considered an entity because it is customized to you and accessible wherever you are, including chatgpt.com, our native applications, telephone, email, or third-party platforms like Siri. It’s T-shaped because it possesses comprehensive skills for routine tasks that may seem tedious, along with specialized expertise for tasks that many individuals find daunting (starting with coding). The broad aspect focuses on simplifying life: answering inquiries, locating homes, getting in touch with lawyers, signing up for gyms, organizing trips, purchasing gifts, managing schedules, and keeping tabs on tasks, while the deep aspect concentrates on
As a long-time ChatGPT user, I can affirm that ChatGPT is not a super-assistant at the moment. It cannot be considered as such since it lacks unfettered access to user data, particularly on mobile devices. Even if it had such access, I would hesitate to place my trust in an AI model granted access to personal data without assurance of how that data is safeguarded and without explicit privacy measures in place.
