Steve Caplin astounds Simon Rose with tales of the latest tech. Microsoft are killing off Internet Explorer, AI can change the style of video footage and synthesise voices while an AI virtual friend is apparently getting way too frisky with some users. Scientists have developed an automatic arm-stroker to redue stress, Lockheed Martin now have an autonomous fighter jet, the best restaurant in Montreal doesn't actually exist, physiological synchrony can determine how a date is going while goldfish turn out to have fantastic memories and sea squirts eat their own brains.
