When The Boys premiered back in 2019, the world looked a lot different. In the wake of Avengers: Endgame, it felt like superhero stories had taken over the world. So when we met Eric Kripke’s cynical vision of “supes” as symbols of corporate greed and capitalism run amuck, fans of the genre couldn’t resist Amazon’s gritty response to the polished MCU.

But five years later, the hierarchy of power in the superhero landscape has shifted. Marvel is dialing back and focus on “quality over quantity” after a series of underwhelming releases, and the DC universe is set to be completely reset under the watchful eye of James Gunn.

Superheroes aren’t the infallible target they once were. And in Season 4 of The Boys, that’s painfully evident. The quality of the show hasn’t changed, but the world has. After remaining on the cutting-edge of satire and gore for years, what was once extreme has become normal, and The Boys no longer has the substance to keep things fresh and exciting.

Apple finally unveiled its take on our generative AI future and that vision is pretty far-reaching. Apple Intelligence — Apple’s brand name for AI — extends across all of Apple’s platforms (the iPhone, iPad, and macOS) with deep integration to the company’s native apps and third-party ones, all while incorporating AI’s most powerful new force, ChatGPT.

Apple Intelligence, the way Apple bills it, can do it all: read your emails, supercharge Siri, trawl your photos with text or audio, and lots — I mean lots — of image generation. Most of that was expected, but it’s image generation that feels especially surprising. Generating images from a text prompt isn’t just new territory for AI, it’s a drastic departure for a company whose reputation is even more valuable than the phones, tablets, and computers it sells.

And in that way, it’s Apple’s riskiest AI experiment yet.
