The Beatles have released another song<\/a>, the first since 1995. \u201cNow and Then\u201d is being advertised as the final<\/em> Beatles track, given that two of the members have passed and the other two are well over 80 years old. But then again, millionaires do love money.<\/p>\n

The song grew from a John Lennon demo track dating back to the 1970s and a 1995 guitar track from George Harrison. The surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, then finished the tune using machine learning technology. The song was meant to come out back in 1995, along with \u201cFree as a Bird\u201d and \u201cReal Love,\u201d two other tracks culled from old Lennon demos. However, the technology just wasn\u2019t there to pull the vocals without degrading audio quality.<\/p>\n

With the same software director Peter Jackson used for the Get Back<\/em> documentary for Apple, the team split Lennon\u2019s vocal from the piano without any audio bleed, allowing the remaining Beatles to turn it into a fleshed-out ballad. The guitar solo is in the Harrison style, but it\u2019s not actually played by him \u2014 he does play some of the rhythm guitar in the background.<\/p>\n

Not another one! At least this streaming service is free. NASA has announced a new streaming service called NASA+, which will hit most major platforms next week. It\u2019ll be completely free, with no subscription needed, and you won\u2019t be forced to sit through ads, either. There aren\u2019t too many details out just yet about the content, but NASA says its family-friendly programming \u201cembeds you into our missions\u201d with live coverage and original video series.<\/p>\n

HTC sends VR headsets to the International Space Station<\/a><\/h2>\n

They\u2019re specially calibrated for zero gravity.<\/h3>\n

\n

HTC is sending its Vive VR headsets to the International Space Station, apparently to give lonely astronauts something to do. The HTC Vive Focus 3 headsets will be part of an ongoing effort to improve the mental health of astronauts during long assignments on the station. The headsets are optimized to stabilize alignment and reduce the chances of motion sickness \u2014 which is a bigger<\/em> problem when it happens in space.<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s ad-supported plan will soon allow downloads<\/a><\/h2>\n

And reward binge watching.<\/h3>\n

\n

Netflix is celebrating one year of its ad-supported plan by giving users on that tier every fourth episode of a consecutive binge ad-free. That\u2019s certainly not a bad way to entice you into staying on, especially if it\u2019s, ugh, Ozark<\/em>. (Don\u2019t \u2018at\u2019 me.) Netflix is also rolling out downloads on its ad-supported tier, claiming to be the first streamer to make the option available for users who have ads included. Netflix\u2019s ad-supported plan is by far the cheapest after the streamer cut its Basic tier in mid-2023. It\u2019s $6.99 monthly, while the Standard plan is now $15.49.<\/p>\n

It sounds like an action movie, but it\u2019s not. It\u2019s just legal action. Scarlett Johansson\u2019s lawyers have approached an AI app developer for using her likeness in an ad without permission.<\/p>\n

An ad spotted on X promoted an AI image editor called Lisa AI used an AI-generated version of Johansson\u2019s voice and image, alongside actual footage of the actor in a Black Widow <\/em>behind-the-scenes clip. Multiple Lisa AI apps remain on the App Store and Google Play, but the ad no longer appears on X. Yet, when Johansson gets to play a robot voice<\/ins><\/a>, that\u2019s OK? Yes. Of course it is.<\/p>\n
