The season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead is one of the most anticipated in television history. For months, viewers have wondered which of the show’s beloved main character (or characters) would meet their end. It’s arguably the first time a major character death has been confirmed and teased for so long prior to the episode air (save for Glenn’s cliffhanger dumpster moment from season six.) But it most certainly won’t be the first time the AMC show has gutted us by heartbreakingly showing the death of a beloved member of the group.
Here are 11 of the most gut-wrenching deaths since the series began back in 2010.
China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
