The AI Doc trailer: Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and more discuss the precarious future of AI
Love it or hate it, AI has burst into our lives over the past few years. But could it also be humanity's undoing?
That's the question at the heart of The AI Doc: Or How I Became An Apocaloptimist. Directors Daniel Roher (Academy Award winner Navalny) and Charlie Tyrell interview AI enthusiasts and detractors alike about what's next for the technology. Roher approaches the film from the lens of a father-to-be: With the rise of AI, is now even a good time to be bringing a child into the world?
Based on The AI Doc's trailer, it certainly doesn't seem like it.
"I know people who work on AI risk who don't expect their children to make it to high school," Center for Humane Technology co-founder Tristan Harris tells a shocked Roher in the trailer.
Elsewhere, Harris' colleague Aza Raskin compares the threat of AI to that of global nuclear war.
Harris and Raskin are both AI "doomers," but The AI Doc also features the voices of leading AI "accelerationists" like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei.
"I want you to promise me that this is gonna go well," Roher tells Altman before they begin their interview.
"That is impossible," Altman responds. Reassuring!
The AI Doc's trailer isn't all doom and gloom, though. It also highlights AI's benefits, especially when it comes to research. Still, the message remains one of caution, even in the face of what can often feel like a runaway AI train. Fitting then, that Daniel Kwan, Everything Everywhere All At Once co-writer/co-director and co-founder of Creators Coalition on AI, is a producer on the doc, as he's actively engaged in how AI can be ethically incorporated into filmmaking.
The AI Doc: Or How I Became An Apocaloptimist screens at SXSW this year. It hits theaters March 27.

Amazon has the Sony XM-6 headphones on sale for a record-low price, but youll need to be quick
SAVE $91.99: The Sony XM-6 headphones are on sale at Amazon in select colorways for $368, down from the standard price of $459.99. That's a 20% discount and the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.
Sony is having quite the February. The brand freshly launched the new XM6 earbuds just last week and they gave us a snazzy new pink colorway in the XM6 headphones. While the sound quality on both the earbuds and the headphones is exceptions, there's one major downfall: the price. There's no denying the top-tier Sony headphones and earbuds are spendy, but there's a lightning deal at Amazon that helps ease this pain. However, you'll need to act quickly to get this sale price.
As of Feb. 17, the Sony XM-6 headphones are on sale at Amazon in select colorways for $368, marked down from the standard price of $459.99. That's a 20% discount that shaves $91.99 off the normal price. This is the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon for the XM6 headphones. You'll need to go with Platinum Silver or Black to get this sale price.
When it comes to the best noise-cancelling headphones that focus on sound quality, it doesn't get better than the Sony XM6 headphones. They'll also be great if you're shopping for the best noise-cancelling headphones for flying.
In Mashable's full review of the Sony XM6 headphones, Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "The new Sony headphones offer impressive audio quality, and they definitely improve on the XM5 models. The active noise cancellation is particularly phenomenal. I really appreciated the overall balance, depth, and quality of the audio."
Sony also made the XM6 headphones more travel-friendly compared to the XM5's. The ear cups on the new model fold for better portability and the included case is slightly less bulky. Plus, it uses a magnetic closure instead of a zipper.
If you've been eyeing the top-tier Sony XM-6 headphones but haven't been ready to dish out the near $450 price, today's sale brings them down to a more affordable $368. But keep in mind the timer is running out to get this best-ever price, so don't delay.

Out of stock: Valve Steam Deck is the latest casualty of global memory shortage
Valve is warning customers that the Steam Deck OLED may be "out-of-stock intermittently," citing ongoing memory and storage shortages on its Steam store page.
As of this writing, all three models of the popular handheld gaming console are out of stock at the Steam store.
A note posted alongside the handheld gaming PC lineup states that availability issues are tied to component constraints and that the 256GB LCD Steam Deck is no longer in production and will not return once remaining inventory is sold out. As of this writing, the only regions where customers appear able to place new orders are Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, with other markets showing the devices as unavailable.
Note: Steam Deck OLED may be out-of-stock intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages. Steam Deck LCD 256GB is no longer in production, and once sold out will no longer be available.

The language on the Steam page points squarely to a broader industry problem. The global memory market has tightened significantly as AI demand consumes more DRAM and NAND, leaving supply constrained.
According to a recent industry update from Sourceability, memory suppliers have implemented price hikes of 20 to 30 percent on DRAM, with some vendors reporting even sharper increases as demand shifts toward AI-related products. Analysts expect supply constraints to deepen into 2026 as high-bandwidth memory for AI data centers takes priority.
Valve has already acknowledged the impact of the global memory shortage on its hardware roadmap. In a recent Steam Hardware FAQ update, the company said memory shortages had rapidly intensified, limiting pricing visibility and complicating launch timing for upcoming products like the Steam Machine and Steam VR headset. The same crunch has affected mobile, laptop, and gaming markets as the AI industry buys up critical components.
This weekend, Mashable reported that Western Digital had already sold out its storage capacity for the entirety of 2026, just seven weeks into the year. In addition, laptop makers have been warning about price increases related to the ongoing memory shortage.
For Steam customers, this means Steam Deck availability may continue to fluctuate. And with the LCD 256GB model officially discontinued, intermittent stock could become less of a temporary hiccup. Mashable reached out to Valve for comment but the company did not respond in time for publication.
