All the Sharks trailer: Photograph sharks, win money in Netflixs new reality competition

Netflix looks to take a bite out of Shark Week with its upcoming shark-centric reality competition show, All the Sharks.

The series, hosted by Tom "The Blowfish" Hird, pits four teams of shark experts against one another. Their goal? To photograph as many types of shark as they can. We're not just talking about some sharks. We're talking about — say it with me — All the Sharks. Whichever team wins will earn $50,000 for their marine charity of choice.

To snap their shark pics, these teams will dive into shark habitats in six stunning locations: the Maldives, the Galápagos Islands, the Bahamas, South Africa, Japan, and Australia. Every shark contestants get on camera earns them points. The rarer the shark, the more points you get. Simple, right? Well, wait until you throw challenging diving conditions and fast-moving currents into the mix.

As someone with a crushing fear of both sharks and the deep sea, All the Sharks sounds like a Netflix executive found a way to turn my worst nightmare into a show. However, the trailer for All the Sharks is far from terrifying. Instead, its cast of passionate shark fans hopes to upend people's expectations of these fascinating, ecologically important predators.

The full trailer above teases several breathtaking encounters with sharks, including a snake-like epaulette shark — a type of shark I didn't know existed until now! And of course, it wouldn't be a shark show without appearances from great whites, tiger sharks, and hammerheads. While I'm not quite ready to get in the water with these bad boys, I feel perfectly intrigued watching them — and the teams trying to photograph them — from the comfort of my own couch.

All the Sharks premieres July 4 on Netflix.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

California Gov. Newsom vetoes bill SB 1047 that aims to prevent AI disasters

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed bill SB 1047, which aims to prevent bad actors from using AI to cause "critical harm" to humans. The California state assembly passed the legislation by a margin of 41-9 on August 28, but several organizations including the Chamber of Commerce had urged Newsom to veto the bill . In his veto message on Sept. 29, Newsom said the bill is "well-intentioned" but "does not take into account whether an Al system is deployed in high-risk environments, involves critical decision-making or the use of sensitive data. Instead, the bill applies stringent standards to even the most basic functions - so long as a large system deploys it."  SB 1047 would have made the developers of AI models liable for adopting safety protocols that would stop catastrophic uses of their technology. That includes preventive measures such as testing and outside risk assessment, as well as an "emergency stop" that would completely shut down...
