From postapocalyptic wastelands to cozy sci-fi futures, there’s a lot to dig into on Microsoft’s subscription service this year.
If you’re an Apple TV Plus subscriber, you can watch the first eight minutes of Severance season two from the Apple TV Plus app or website under the show’s “Bonus Content” section. The second season comes out on January 17th.
The hit musical film will be available for digital purchase and rentals before the end of 2024. A physical release (including 4K Blu-ray) will follow on February 4th.
Universal’s digital exclusives include a full-length singalong version along with a mountain of other bonus content and deleted scenes.
A lot of new soundbars are about to be put to the test.
As noticed by MacRumors, Apple’s video service has begun teasing a “see for yourself” promotion that will span January 4th and 5th, which conveniently falls on a weekend.
Apple has never opened the gates for a full-on preview of its original shows and movies, so this could be an opportune moment to catch at least some of that content without a subscription.
One important detail in this report about Microsoft and OpenAI’s exclusive cloud arrangement is that last year’s extension apparently defines the often-disputed term artificial general intelligence (AGI).
While reaching AGI could let OpenAI end the deal, the report says that it’s defined as returning $100 billion or so in profits — a tall task for a company “with no path toward profitability in sight.”
