Ben Affleck is an AI nerd, and the internet is impressed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They cast the wrong lead in “Good Will Hunting,” apparently, because it’s Ben Affleck who is the secret genius, as it turns out. The actor who earlier this year sold his AI filmmaking startup to Netflix for a reported $587 million has gone viral this week for demonstrating his understanding of AI technology, neural networks, machine learning, and the like, across multiple video clips of his recent interviews. He can even write a little Python, he says. The movie star delved into his interest in …

Muse, meanwhile, hit the iPad just a month after launching on iPhone. (To be fair, it may not be as difficult to bring something like Muse to iPad, given its text-heavy interface, where image and video resolution and formatting…
Ring's first smart lock can be hand-cranked when its battery dies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ring, the Amazon-owned video doorbell maker, is entering a new market: smart locks. Ring’s new device isn’t exactly a copy-and-paste of the other locks already on the market, however, as it tackles a big issue that often deters people from embracing this kind of smart home equipment: the fear of the battery dying and getting locked out. To address this, Ring’s smart lock has added a power dial. If the battery on the device runs out, the homeowner can just turn the dial a few times to power the l…
