Epic VS Apple, Cancer Tracking A.I. & Marvel Is Sued
Manage episode 292772837 series 2927491
Epic and Apple's case is going through the courts, and we're on the sidelines gobbling up any juicy news on the industry. Xbox hardware has never been profitable. Only 7 percent of Fortnite income is from iOS. And the Epic Games Store is a long way from being profitable. However the case turns out, we'll have a much better picture of the industry.
AI is a fancy buzzword, but sometimes there's a project that uses it really well. In this case, an AI can diagnose prostate cancer long before the traditional testing would have revealed the condition. And since cancer is better treated sooner than later, it could have a huge impact on mortality.
The team behind Radix think Marvel's Iron Man and Ant Man movie costumes are stolen from their comic. There's definitely some similar parts, but the courts will have to decide if Marvel really are another name for Dodgy Bros. Comics.
This week DJ ran out of room in Final Space and Professor grappled with the ethics of killing to save lives in Stowaway.
