One of the more amusing TikToks that followed the announcement of the forthcoming Legend of Zelda movie riffs on a scene from the animated series Drawn Together. In it, the blue-caped Captain Hero sits in a wheelchair at the bottom of a staircase next to the text "Zelda fans when the movie was announced." One beat later, the words "it's live action" appear, and Captain Hero screams. Another beat, then "it's produced by Avi Arad (Morbius)" flashes up, this time to a louder scream. Finally, "It was written by the writer of Batman v Superman, Rise of Skywalker, and Jurassic Worlld [sic]," and Captain Hero unleashes one last wounded wail.

Researchers in Scotland have developed a helmet that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help firefighters find and rescue victims faster. The team, from the newly opened National Robotarium in Edinburgh, designed the device using sensors, thermal cameras and radar technology. The equipment aims to help firefighters navigate in a smoke-filled environment, map their surroundings and ultimately rescue victims more quickly. But what we are doing is (...) we also want them to have this superhero ability: see through smoke, see through darkness and have this ability to find effective solutions for search and rescue," said Chris Xiaoxuan Lu, Lecturer in Cyber-Physical Systems at the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh. "It will definitely improve the safety for firefighters from multiple dimensions.

Most comic book superheroes have a secret identity, usually to protect their friends and family from retribution. However, today's computer technology would make it impossible for a superhero to maintain their secret identity. Take Spider-Man, who has a habit of diving into an alley to change into costume. However, video cameras are pervasive in New York City, which could easily capture video of him donning his mask. The New York City Police Department operates over 15,000 surveillance cameras,1 but there are thousands more Webcams controlled by residents and commercial entities.

A documentary on the late Anthony Bourdain is drawing attention for its use of artificial intelligence. A New Yorker review of Roadrunner, a documentary on late chef and travel documentarian Anthony Bourdain, is getting plenty of attention thanks to one anecdote mentioned toward the end. In the article, published Thursday, reporter Helen Rosner describes a scene in the film in which artist David Choe, a friend of Bourdain's, reads an e-mail from the late chef, who died by suicide in 2018. The scene starts with Choe's voice before transitioning to Bourdain's, which says, "and my life is sort of shit now. You are successful, and I am successful, and I'm wondering: Are you happy?" Rosner says she asked filmmaker Morgan Neville how he'd found a recording of Bourdain reading the email.

If--like Wanda Maximoff--you've been living in your own reality, distant from all things in 2021, you may not have heard about "WandaVision," whose first and only season ended on March 5th. The immensely popular show, from Disney and Marvel Studios, follows Wanda, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch, an Eastern European refugee with "chaos magic" powers, and her husband Vision, a synthezoid (android) who died in the events of the Marvel movie "Avengers: Infinity War." Nearly all nine episodes of "WandaVision" depict the pair in what appears to be domestic suburban bliss. Nearly all take plots and visual style from one of the sitcoms that Wanda watched for solace during her bleak wartime youth, from the black and white of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" to the faux-reality vibe of "The Office." These anachronistic, self-contained sitcom scenarios fall apart as people from the outside world break in.

This article contains spoilers for the first five episodes of WandaVision. Let's start with the biggest question. What was the deal with "Pietro" at the end of the episode? That was Evan Peters reprising his role as the late Pietro Maximoff, Wanda's brother, but--and here's the twist--it's not the Pietro Maximoff we've seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The MCU's Pietro, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, died in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Apple introduced CoreML in WWDC 2017, and it is a great deal. CoreML is a machine learning framework used in many Apple products, like Siri, Camera, Keyboard Dictation, etc. The cool stuff about CoreML is that it can use a pre-trained model to work offline. Apple has provided lots of pre-trained models like MobileNet, SqueezeNet, Inception v3, VGG16 to help us with image recognition tasks, especially detecting dominant objects in a scene. The job of CoreML is simply predicting data based on the models.

Peter Isackson is an author, media producer and chief visionary officer of Fair Observer Training Academy. Elon Musk's effective style of branding relies on making audacious promises most people can't understand and engaging in perennial teasing campaigns. The Daily Devil's Dictionary can always count on Elon Musk to provide it with new material. As a hyperreal celebrity with amazingly deep pockets, Musk has the rare privilege of being in a position to play games with ideas, language and even the law, in an exceptionally creative way. At least to the extent that creativity implies a loose sense of accountability.

How did you learn to talk? Probably something like this: Your infant brain, a hotbed of neurological activity, picked up on your parents' speech tones and facial expressions. You started to mimic their sounds, interpret their emotions and identify relatives from strangers. And one day, about a year into life, you pointed and started saying a few meaningful words with slobbery glee. But many children, particularly those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, acquire language in different ways.

In this age of web-slinging, super-healing, superheroes, could it be said that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the superpower for sales reps? AI can automate processes and analyze data to quickly generate insights and analysis that earlier needed many people and a lot of time. "So, is it really that far of a stretch to say that AI can be a superpower?" questions, Dayle Hall, Chief Marketing Officer at People.ai. The recently departed, great Stan Lee, creator of superheroes like Spiderman, Iron-Man, Thor, The X-Men and Black Panther, was a visionary storyteller and a futurist whose many creative inventions have come true or are on their way to becoming true. His heros have amazing super qualities and many of them used very advanced technologies to combat evil and to drive efficiencies.
