The Department of Balance acts as the corrupt and prejudiced law enforcement of this world, doling out punishments to criminals and rule-breakers.

The wide availability of image generators has caused not only an explosion of experimentation but also discussion around the implications of the technology. One knotty problem is that the images created can inherit biases from the data they are fed; another that they could be used to generate harmful content. The copyright and trademark implications of AI art are also unclear, and some artists worry that such tools may make work harder to find. Those debates will continue in 2023—and the technology looks likely to keep improving quickly. In December, researchers at Google announced an image-generation tool called Muse built around a new technique. They claim…

The first two Ant-Man movies were both breaks from the epic action of the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ant-Man 1 was like a little epilogue to Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ant-Man and the Wasp was like a little ellipsis in the space between Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. These movies were the intermezzo between major courses of the meal that is the MCU.But Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is different. Instead of the coda after a phase, it’s the official kickoff of Phase 5 of the MCU, and the formal introduction of Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror, who will be the key villain in the next several…
