"Fake News" vexed the media classes greatly in 2016, but the tech world perfected the art long ago. With "the internet" no longer a credible vehicle for Silicon Valley's wild fantasies and intellectual bullying of other industries – the internet clearly isn't working for people – "AI" has taken its place. But almost everything you read about AI is Fake News. The AI coverage comes from a media willing itself into a mind of a three year old child, in order to be impressed. For example, how many human jobs did AI replace in 2016? If you gave professional pundits a multiple choice question listing these three answers: 3 million, 300,000 and none, I suspect very few would choose the correct answer, which is of course "none".

If you hate slow walkers, biting ice cream or Taylor Swift, you're not alone. A new dating app has been announced that matches you with potential partners based on what you mutually hate.

Inside the offices of Toutiao, it's hard to tell you're just outside of Beijing and not in the heart of Silicon Valley. The walls are decorated with stylish graffiti, and there are all the usual perks: a game room, a gym, and a sumptuous cafeteria. But Toutiao doesn't only look the part. The company makes an insanely popular Chinese news aggregation app called Toutiao (meaning "headlines"). Toutiao boasts some 700 million users in China, with more than 68 million active daily users.

After Star steals the spotlight from Alexandra, the group is forced to deal with a tragedy as tensions rise on "Star" Season 1, episode 7, titled "Black Wherever I Go." "Things get out of control during a rally Derek (Quincy Brown) organizes in response to the sudden loss of a close friend," the synopsis teases. In the promo for the Fox series, the group deals with the death of one of the shop's hair stylists, who was shot by a police officer. While in pain, Derek suggests taking their grief and putting it into a protest. In the "Star" Season 1, episode 7 "Black Wherever I Go" clip, Derek can be seen asking Alexandra (Ryan Destiny) if the group can sing for the protest, however, she doesn't want to because she is afraid Star (Jude Demorest) won't take it seriously. Simone (Brittany O'Grady) and Carlotta (Queen Latifah) are also pictured attending the peaceful protest, but it looks like things get out of hand because Alexandra can be seen getting taken away by a police officer.

GoPro CEO Nick Woodman introduces the foldable Karma drone during a press event in Olympic Valley, Calif. in September. Six days after the release of GoPro's first-ever drone in October, Brian Warholak was itching to get airborne. As an employee at a Chesapeake, Va.-based government contractor, Warholak, 43, had few opportunities during the workweek to fly his new toy. But on Friday, he left his desk early, unpacked his GoPro Karma from its carrying case and set it on a manicured lawn near the company parking lot. In the video of Warholak's aeronautic excursion, the drone lurches upward, pausing for its master to pan the attached camera.

Nearly a decade ago, Comcast promised liberation from the tyranny of the cable box. But today its control seems here to stay--as does big cable's control over how you consume the programming you pay for. This week, the Federal Communications Commission met for the first time under its new chairman, Ajit Pai, a Republican. The original agenda for the meeting included consideration of the agency's latest proposal--advanced under former Democratic chairman Tom Wheeler--to force cable companies to make their services a bit more open. That item disappeared from the agenda--and with it the likelihood that much of anything will change in the world of cable, at least as far as government regulation is concerned.

Abe and Trump are expected to meet on Feb. 10. Major Japanese newspapers cited a draft of the proposal that calls for cooperation on building high-speed trains in the U.S. northeast, Texas and California. Japan would share technology on artificial intelligence, robotics, small-scale nuclear power plants, space and Internet technology.

The Orangutan looked quite magnificent. From her inquisitive eyes to her distinctive orange fur, she was just the sort of creature nature lovers adore watching on TV. But a closer inspection revealed something a little different about her. That's because she is actually an undercover robot, fitted with high-definition cameras behind her glass eyes and used to infiltrate the animal kingdom. The orangutan, as well as an adorable wolf-cub, an utterly convincing meerkat and an incredible floating otter are among 34 animatronic beasts created for the BBC's new series, Spy In The Wild.

Cosmologist Stephen Hawking and Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed a set of principles this week that have been established to ensure that self-thinking machines remain safe and act in humanity's best interests. Machines are getting more intelligent every year and researchers believe they could possess human levels of intelligence in the coming decades. Once they reach this point they could then start to improve themselves and create other, even more powerful AIs, known as superintelligences, according to Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom and several others in the field. In 2014, Musk, who has his own $1 billion AI research company, warned that AI has the potential to be "more dangerous than nukes" while Hawking said in December 2014 that AI could end humanity. But there are two sides to the coin.
