Was It Worth All The Fuss?
The world of anime films and series parallels its real counterpart in many things, such as the topics and ideas presented, in addition to the length of the series and the possibility of displaying it in the form of many parts as well. If you are a fan of the wide world of anime, you must have heard about the famous series Attack on Titan, which has been shown since 2013 and is still continuing in the show, but it has reached its last episodes, announcing the end of the story of the giants this year.

New 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series LEGO Set Leaked
As of the writing of this article, we are still a few weeks away from the release of the Obi-Wan Kenobi television miniseries. It is probably the most highly anticipated Star Wars project since the second season of The Mandalorian. No doubt the return of the most beloved Scottish actor Ewan Mcgregor was a big boost. As we get closer and closer, and the hype is building, this might end up being one of the most-watched projects to come out of Disney+. At the very least, we have to hope that it will be better than the largely underwhelming The Book of Boba Fett.

Review of 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' 1.3
The Man Who Fell to Earth just keeps getting better and better. The last few minutes of episode 1.3 were the best so far in this very fine series. Faraday tells the audience -- assembled in the narrative and whoever's watching the episode on Showtime or Amazon Prime or any way else on Planet Earth -- "I've come with a prototype for a quantum fusion process," and proceeds to make good on his claim by lighting London up in the night. England swings like a pendulum do.

Breaking The Zodiac-X Code
Celebrating New Year’s eve 2213 in rainy Ze-paris, Professor Newton working away on complex quadratic algorithms on his Vizogram (holographic wall with slide-out data pages) in Riu’s lab division back in Ze-california suddenly receive five separate incoming calls from Riu, Berk, Scar, Tiara and Kira. Partying away in and out of French clubs with sub-commander Snag’s young mind wizard girlfriends; Bliz and Yorna near the Eiffel Tower, intimate lovers kissing on the southern side of the tower discover Riu’s alliance shift from mature adult waltz dancing to chicken dancing like kids. Startled personally about what has happened to their behaviour from the crowd reaction, the alliance members inform Newton that their manly nature has uncontrollably shifted to childlike, but with their original adult voices intact. Asking if anyone around them experienced the same symptom, Berk replies “no only them”. Demanding they all immediately fly back to Riu’s zodiac capital to inspect their genetic cell structure for any abnormal mutations developing, the alliance agrees.

The Starlonion Bros.
After inventing a hand-held briefcase that folds out into an aerodynamic rocket jet-powered luxurious domed sky go-kart for the trip-minded entrepreneur, two wealthy inseparable Norwegian brothers from a rowdy mountainous town in Oslo, Norway find themselves questioned on labour day by executive Roy’s enthusiastic street press. Demonstrating its patented merits outside in front of Mayor Malin’s proud hometown residents, brothers Erling and Anders are congratulated by “offer interested” corporate executives Gunnar and Turid for their ingenious low cost solar-driven product. Appealing to millions of “space-conscious car-substitute” consumers internationally through ads after signing a global export contract with Autotarium Motors, Erling; a tall amusing man and Anders a short grievous minded individual, conclude their presentation escorted out of sight by agent Finn in a paid-for private flying limo. Telling the press their childhood story how they loved to play around with their father’s electronic circuit board inventions kicking around in the garage, the curious brothers would always drive him crazy by sneaking off to disengage the alarm after he slept in order to explore all his gear.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series Composer Breaks Down Her Cherished Gift From John Williams
The music of Star Wars is forever associated with the name John Williams, and rightfully so. But from time to time, when the maestro is not available (or maybe not interested), some other composers get to write music or the saga, either for the big screen (like Michael Giacchino for Rogue One or John Powell for Solo) or for tv (like Kevin Kiner for The Clone Wars and Rebels or Ludwig Göransson for The Mandalorian).

Firstly, one must understand what bias is and how it affects AI systems. Cambridge English Dictionary defines bias as “the action of supporting or opposing a particular person or thing in an unfair way, because of allowing personal opinions to influence your judgement”. From this definition the danger of allowing bias in AI systems can be seen. It is the programmer’s duty to eliminate or minimise bias in algorithms. This is because programs are not inherently biassed, however the people designing them are. By removing personal judgement and prejudice from AI systems, these systems would generalise better and produce more accurate results. However, omitting bias when creating AI techniques can be a difficult procedure. This is because, as will be shown in the next section, spotting bias can be a problematic task.
