Batman Casting, California Sells Private Data, and Artificial Intelligence Dominates Go
Quote from Steve Vingua on December 5, 2019, 7:27 amThis week we start with providing our thoughts on the Batman casting choices, DC continues to make some questionable choices. Then we move on to some security concerns with all these smart home devices flying off the shelves during the Black Friday shopping. Last week the Chinese Go champion retires after declaring the new artificial intelligence systems as undefeatable. Tesla throws down another challenge to Ford but they will not accept. We also cover another scary privacy concern with the news that the California DMV has been selling citizens data for over $50million.
