Artificial intelligence is breaking into the fast-food business. Shake Shack partnered with NotCo to use its AI-generated dairy-free milk, called NoMilk, to make a new chocolate milkshake and frozen custard.

Give these a look, and if you need even more recent picks, then loop back on last week's column as well. Minecraft is beloved for its open-ended design, letting players build their own adventures in blocky worlds--but last year's Minecraft: Story Mode handled most of the heavy lifting with a five-part episodic adventure series.
