Starring Nick Offerman as bearded tech-bro enigma, FX’s Devs has a lot going on

Sci-fi writer/director Alex Garland has some strong feelings about modern science and technology. If you haven’t yet seen his visually stunning and ideologically complex films, Ex-Machina and Annihilation, let’s just say he holds some skepticism about things that evolve beyond human control. But Garland evidently also has some feelings about dealing with film studios and production companies (many of which may not fancy the unflinching outcomes of his stories). So for his latest idea, he turned to the mini-series masters at FX to make his TV debut: Devs, an eight-part miniseries that seems to take Garland’s emerging mythos and apply it to the tech/research industry itself.


Ex-Machina scribe Alex Garland’s FX show continues his skepticism of things beyond control.

Girl receives R2-D2 ‘bionic arm’ and phone call from Luke Skywalker actor

A young Star Wars fan and amputee has received an R2-D2 bionic limb and a phone call from Luke Skywalker himself.

Bella Tadlock, from Tallahassee, Florida, raised almost 14,000 dollars (about £11,000) for her bionic hero arm, created by Bristol company Open Bionics.

The 11-year-old started a fundraiser that first caught the eye of actor Mark Hamill in November — Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies, retweeted her appeal to his 3.6 million followers.

Google says its new chatbot Meena is the best in the world

Google has released a neural-network-powered chatbot called Meena that it claims is better than any other chatbot out there.

Data slurp: Meena was trained on a whopping 341 gigabytes of public social-media chatter—8.5 times as much data as OpenAI’s GPT-2. Google says Meena can talk about pretty much anything, and can even make up (bad) jokes.

Why it matters: Open-ended conversation that covers a wide range of topics is hard, and most chatbots can’t keep up. At some point most say things that make no sense or reveal a lack of basic knowledge about the world. A chatbot that avoids such mistakes will go a long way toward making AIs feel more human, and make characters in video games more lifelike.

First Look at Robert Pattinson in ‘The Batman’

Last year, news broke that Robert Pattinson would be playing Batman/Bruce Wayne in Matt Reaves’ upcoming The Batman. While Pattinson might be most known as the brooding Edward Cullen in the Twilight series, he’s so much more than that. Pattinson has an impressive resume, having roles in films such as The Lighthouse, Lost City of Z, Life, and more, acting alongside some of Hollywood’s elite.

Ever since he was announced, fans were eager to see how Pattinson would fit into the Batman role. Now, thanks to Matt Reaves, a short video was released giving us a first look at Pattinson in the role. We’re so excited to see this portrayal of Batman and what Pattinson will do with it — he certainly looks the part!

The Batman is set to release next year.
