“The Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.”
Benedict Cumberbatch stars in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The first teaser trailer for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness debuted in theaters this past weekend as a post-credits addition to Spider-Man: Now Way Home. Marvel has just released it to the general public, and it looks like we're in for another eye-popping, mind-bending ride.
(Spoilers for prior events in the MCEU below, particularly in Loki, What If? and No Way Home.)
The sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange has been in the works for years, with director Scott Derrickson initially signed on to make the film. Derrickson left the project in January 2020, citing creative differences, although it seems it was a mutually amiable parting. (Derrickson is still an executive producer.) Sam Raimi took over directing duties.

The 2022 Consumer Electronics Show is just two weeks away and, after doing a digital-only event last year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Consumer Technology Association has been planning for a hybrid event with in-person and online components.
But with the Omicron variant of the virus now spreading more quickly than any that came before, a number of big name tech and media companies have scrapped plans to attend in person. The show is still slated to go on (for now), but it’ll likely be a bit more subdued than CTA had planned.
Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web, not all of which is related to why it’s probably a bad idea for 100 thousand people to attend a trade show in Las Vegas that’s known for spreading the “CES flu” even in years when there isn’t a global pandemic.
A number of major tech companies are pulling out of CES or scaling back their presence due to concerns around rising COVID-19 case counts globally. Amazon, Meta, Pinterest, and Twitter have pulled out, and T-Mobile is limiting its presence.
Media outlets including The Verge, Engadget, CNET, TechCrunch, TechRadar, and Tom’s Guide have also announced they will not be attending CES 2022 in person.
Like others (including Liliputing, which never had any plans to attend in person this year), the site will continue to provide coverage of announcements from the show… but writers will be working remotely rather than from Las Vegas. Expect a lot less hands-on coverage this year.
Consumer Technology Association CEO Gary Shapiro confirms that CES 2022 will take place both in-person in Las Vegas and digitally, even as multiple big name tech and media companies have pulled out due to COVID-19 concerns 2 weeks before the show.

A lower share of people infected with the Omicron coronavirus variant are likely to require hospital treatment compared with cases of the Delta strain, according to healthcare data from South Africa, Denmark, and the UK.
The findings by separate research teams raise hopes that there will be fewer cases of severe disease than those caused by other strains of the virus, but the researchers cautioned that Omicron’s high degree of infectiousness could still strain health services.
The reduction in severe illness was likely to stem from Omicron’s greater propensity, compared with other variants, to infect people who have been vaccinated or previously infected, experts stressed, though the UK studies also hinted at a possible drop in intrinsic severity.

The U.S. Copyright Office has launched a public consultation to evaluate various technical measures that can identify and protect copyrighted content online. With help from various stakeholders and the public at large, the Office hopes to get a better understanding of the pros and cons of these tools, including upload filters, and the potential role of the Government.
From: TF, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more.
A year ago, Senator Thom Tillis released a discussion draft of the “Digital Copyright Act” (DCA) a potential successor to the current DMCA.
The DCA envisions thorough changes to the way online intermediaries approach the piracy problem. Among other things, they would have to ensure that pirated content stays offline after it’s taken down once.
This takedown and staydown approach would rely on technical protection tools, which include upload filters. This is a sensitive subject that previously generated quite a bit of pushback when the EU drafted its Copyright Directive.
Senator Tillis believes that automated tools have potential nonetheless. Together with Senator Patrick Leahy he wrote a letter to the U.S. Copyright Office this summer, asking it to look into the matter.
Specifically, the Senators asked the Copyright Office to “convene a representative working group of relevant stakeholders to achieve the identification and implementation of technical measures.”
This suggestion was picked up and this week the Copyright Office announced that it will launch a series of consultations on the various technical tools that can help to detect and remove pirated content from online platforms.
These solutions are by no means new. The Copyright Office mentions that platforms such as YouTube, Dropbox, and Scribd have already developed their own tools. At the same time, commercially available solutions such as Audible Magic are available too.
“Some technical measures to identify and protect copyrighted works online have been developed and deployed by or for online service providers and other stakeholders,” the Office notes.
“Proprietary systems used internally by platforms to identify and filter potentially infringing uploaded material include Scribd’s BookID, Dropbox’s unique identifier system, and YouTube’s ContentID.”
The goal of the consultations, which will start with a plenary session in February, is tobring various stakeholders together to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of these tools.
The problem with proprietary systems is that they are not widely available. In addition, not all stakeholders have input into these systems. Through the consultation, the Copyright Office hopes to discuss the strengths and weaknesses in an open setting.
To get an impression of the various viewpoints the Office is asking to input ahead of the first meeting, the consultation announcement includes various questions that should serve as a starting point for the discussions.
These questions consider both the positive and negative consequences, as the examples below show.
“To what extent would the adoption and broad implementation of existing or future technical measures by stakeholders, including online service providers and rightsholders,
be likely to assist in addressing the problem of online copyright piracy?”
“Would the adoption and broad implementation of such existing or future technical measures have negative effects? If so, what would be the effects, and who would be affected?”
The Copyright Office doesn’t take a stance when it comes to potential Government interventions, but through its questions, it hopes to weigh stakeholders’ opinions.
“Can the government facilitate the adoption or implementation of technical measures, and if so, how?” the Office asks.
Needless to say, the consultation will probably trigger a heated debate about the pros and cons of upload filters, much like the one we saw in Europe roughly three years ago.
All stakeholders, including members of the public, are invited to have their voices heard. More details, including all questions, are available in the Copyright Office’s official announcement that was published a few hours ago.
