Netflix has been cranking out a startling amount of original content, including TV shows, documentaries, cartoons, specials, and feature films, and it can make one's head spin to try to navigate it all. The list of feature films alone is intimidating, but over the past several weeks we have been combing through all of them, and watching anything that seemed at least promising. The best part about these titles is that all--barring an apocalypse--will be available on the streaming channel forever, almost like a personal library, available at any time (and available for download for offline viewing on mobile devices). Admittedly, the forgettable stuff outweighs the good stuff, but there is plenty of good stuff to get excited about and to bookmark. Siblings Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, and Elizabeth Marvel argue in The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected).

Subscribe and review: Apple, Spotify, Soundcloud, Audioboom, Mixcloud & Acast and join the discussion on Facebook, Twitter & email us as podcast@theguardian.com Technology companies seem to have a bad reputation at the moment. Whether through honest mistakes or more intentional oversights, the likes of Apple, Facebook, Google and Twitter have created distrust among consumers. But as technology develops, and as we hand over more control to artificial intelligence and machines, it becomes difficult for developers to foresee the negative consequences or side-effects that might arise. In October 2017, the AI company DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google, created an ethics group made up of employees and external experts called DeepMind Ethics & Society. But are these groups any more than a PR strategy? And how can we train technology students to preempt an ethical disaster before they enter the workforce?

Alphabet's Google is betting this combination proves irresistible with the launch of Google Clips, a pocket-sized digital camera that decides on its own whether an image is interesting enough to shoot. The $249 device, which is designed to clip onto furniture or other fixed objects, automatically captures subjects that wander into its viewfinder. But unlike some trail or security cameras that are triggered by motion or programmed on timers, Clips is more discerning. Google has trained its electronic brain to recognise smiles, human faces, dogs, cats and rapid sequences of movement. The company sees big potential with parents and pet owners looking to grab candid shots of kids and animals.

Journal articles are by far the primary source of research communication in my field(s). Nobody cares about conference proceedings, which are usually short abstracts and not published. My group has started working on some cool projects that are more machine learning than biology (though the models are loosely inspired by biological neural nets) and I'm wondering where to publish them. I know conference abstracts papers are the most common form of research communication for neural networks, but are there any widely read journals as well? The ones I know of have low impact factors, which is not a problem in itself (at least to me), but may indicate that nobody reads them.

In a U.S. regulatory filing, Baidu said it would list iQiyi on the Nasdaq exchange and is seeking to raise around $1.5 billion. Analysts at Jefferies have valued iQiyi at $17 billion. The move comes as Baidu looks to raise money for the loss-making unit to stay ahead in the fiercely competitive video-streaming sector where tech titans Tencent Holdings Ltd. TCEHY 2.24% and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA -1.00% also have strong plays. Baidu told investors in its most recent earnings call that it would remain iQiyi's controlling shareholder. IQiyi, which was founded in 2010 and will list under the ticker IQ, said it is China's largest video-streaming service by amount of time spent watching, with more than 50 million paid subscribers.

Netflix's huge selection of films and TV is finally coming to Sky. The Sky Q box will soon be able to show the various video offered by Netflix, the two companies have said. New and existing customers will be able to watch Netflix through their box and by paying through their subscription, for the first time. That will allow the Netflix shows like Stranger Things or Orange Is The New Black on the Sky Q box. They will be able to make full use of Sky Q functionality, including its menus, voice search and other tools. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

The Amazon Echo kicked off the smart speaker trend a few years ago, but it's no longer alone. There are dozens of smart speakers already on the market in 2018 and a ton more are coming. You need to decide which voice assistant you prefer (there are now four--Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, and Cortana) and what features are most important to you. Does it need to play Spotify? Does it need to connect to your other speakers and smarthome gadgets?

In January this year, a new app was released that gives users the ability to swap out faces in a video with a different face obtained from another photo or video – similar to Snapchat's "face swap" feature. It's an everyday version of the kind of high-tech computer-generated imagery (CGI) we see in the movies. You might recognise it from the cameo of a young Princess Leia in the 2016 Star Wars film Rogue One, which used the body of another actor and footage from the first Star Wars film created 39 years earlier. Now, anyone with a high-powered computer, a graphics processing unit (GPU) and time on their hands can create realistic fake videos – known as "deepfakes" – using artificial intelligence (AI). The problem is that these same tools are accessible to those who seek to create non-consensual pornography of friends, work colleagues, classmates, ex-partners and complete strangers – and post it online. Read more: The picture of who is affected by'revenge porn' is more complex than we first thought In December 2017, Motherboard broke the story of a Reddit user known as "deep fakes", who used AI to swap the faces of actors in pornographic videos with the faces of well-known celebrities.

"Westworld" Season 1 introduced fans to a number of hosts - robots that are designed to act, talk, and even think like humans. But this Season 2, Delos Corporation will be introducing even more robotic creatures. One clip shared by the HBO show featured host Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) with a one creature behind him. Showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy told Entertainment Weekly that these are "drone hosts," and they are the new creatures being created by Delos. "The drone hosts relate to the corporation's secret project which is hidden in plain sight in this park," Nolan explained.
