Everything leaving Netflix in August 2024
Netflix is about to remove another wave of movies from its platform in August 2024 – and it’s all Hollywood blockbusters.
Netflix‘s content catalog is seemingly never-ending, but it’ll soon be time for this list to be trimmed back to make way for everything new on Netflix in August. As for everything leaving the platform, there are some brilliant movies that are about to be cut but luckily, there are no TV shows leaving this month.
From Oscar winner Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) to the entire Tobey Maguire Spiderman franchise – which was only added to Netflix in July as one of three familiar franchises with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes – beloved Hollywood favorites are the main victims of Netflix’s next wave of departing titles. These include some of the best Netflix movies and personal favorites of ours, so it’s best to start catching them now before the regret kicks in.
It’s not the best feeling in the world to see your favorite movies leave the best streaming services, however Netflix always makes up for it by adding more titles and August is packed with new originals. You can also check out our list of new Netflix movies, but we’d suggest heading to the list below first to take note of the movies you don’t want to miss.

AI Won’t Replace Human Workers, But People Who Use It Will Replace Those Who Don’t, Andrew Ng Says
An anonymous reader writes: AI experts tend to agree that rapid advances in the technology will impact jobs. But there’s a clear division growing between those who see that as a cause for concern and those who believe it heralds a future of growth. Andrew Ng, the founder of Google Brain and a professor at Stanford University, is in the latter camp. He’s optimistic about how AI will transform the labor market. For one, he doesn’t think it’s going to replace jobs.
“For the vast majority of jobs, if 20-30% is automated, then what that means is the job is going to be there,” Ng said in a recent talk organized by Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. “It also means AI won’t replace people, but maybe people that use AI will replace people that don’t.”

Rumors are swirling that more achievements for Starfield could be on its way with its forthcoming Shattered Space story expansion, although a release date has not been set yet. Bethesda’s recent registration of the trademark “Starborn” might also suggest future developments for the game, which is highly regarded as one of the top Xbox role-playing games.
The trademark was registered by Zenimax Media, Bethesda’s parent company, and noticed by users on Reddit and X (formerly known as Twitter). Although the game developer has not officially announced anything or directly referenced “Starfield,” fans of the game are finding reasons to be hopeful.

Many believe the trademark registration signals the second DLC for the game. The trademark description as “downloadable computer game software for personal computers and home video game consoles” significantly hints at this possibility.
According to the game’s director, Todd Howard, Bethesda aims to release Starfield expansions annually, and planning for future expansions beyond Shattered Space is already underway.
What could Starborn be about?
Although the next expansion may still be a long time coming, the name “Starborn” holds particular significance for players who are already speeding ahead in Starfield, especially with its ties to the main storyline’s Constellation organization and its quest for Artifacts, suggesting a potential direction for upcoming DLCs. Yet, no official announcements or confirmations have been made regarding what the next DLC will entail.
The possibility of a new Starfield DLC exploring the game’s multiverse concept is also intriguing. Such a DLC could introduce encounters with multiple versions of the player’s character in alternate universes.
It remains to be seen how players will engage with future story DLCs. Earlier data revealed that nearly half of the game’s Xbox players had not yet joined the main story faction. Meanwhile, updates for the game continue, with the developers addressing issues with mods on Xbox following reported “negative effects.”
