Kira (Short Film on Human Cloning)
My new AI-assisted short film is here. Kira explores human cloning and the search for identity in today’s world.
It took nearly 600 prompts, 12 days (during my free time), and a $500 budget to bring this project to life. The entire film was created by one person using a range of AI tools, all listed at the end.
Enjoy.

British-built Hawk-Eye software goes dark during Wimbledon match
Wimbledon’s new automated line-calling system glitched during a tennis match Sunday, just days after it replaced the tournament’s human line judges for the first time.
The system, called Hawk-Eye, uses a network of cameras equipped with computer vision to track tennis balls in real-time. If the ball lands out, a pre-recorded voice loudly says, “Out.” If the ball is in, there’s no call and play continues.
However, the software temporarily went dark during a women’s singles match between Brit Sonay Kartal and Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Centre Court.

New ultra-secure SSD can self-destruct to protect sensitive data
This message will self-destruct in 3… 2… 1 is something you’ve definitely seen in Mission: Impossible films over the years.
Now, we finally have tech that feels just as futuristic, thanks to a new kind of storage hardware.
Taiwanese company TeamGroup has unveiled a new internal SSD that can literally destroy itself at the press of a button, ensuring sensitive data never falls into the wrong hands.
The device, called the P250Q-M80, is aimed at sectors where top-tier data security isn’t just a perk, it’s a necessity. We’re talking defense, industrial automation, AI development, and maybe even the crypto wallet you hold.
TeamGroup showcased the drive at Computex 2025, where it took home a Best Choice Award in the cybersecurity category.
