Today's Story Highlights

Calling BS on Clueless Predictions by Musk and Ma
Elon Musk and Jack Ma floated some radical ideas last week. Two of the
most powerful men in the world, both have invested heavily in AI. Ma,
who is the Alibaba Group cofounder and a huge advocate for the 12-hour a
day six-day Chinese work week in tech, indicated that he believed AI
would reduce the work week from 72 hours, where it now is in China, to
12 hours -- that is, three 4-hour workdays.

Autonomous Vehicle Development Fuels Industry Angst
In the Internet of Things -- or the "Intelligence of Things," which is a
more apt description -- the automotive segment has become a leading
center of innovation. Only healthcare offers the same ability to
leverage advances in sensors, processing, connectivity and artificial
intelligence technology to advance an industry while simultaneously
improving society.

Verizon Steps Up Fight Against Rampant Robocalls
Verizon, the No. 1 mobile carrier in the United States, this week
introduced a free version of its robocall-blocking app, which will be
standard on all new Android devices. The company further announced that
it will auto-enroll eligible Android users to its Call Filter service
and block what are seen as "high-risk" calls. This includes calls from
numbers that have been reported as fraudulent.

Drauger OS Makes a Capable Linux Game Console Platform
Drauger OS is a relatively new Linux distro for users with a penchant
for games. Several design elements make this Linux gaming platform
different from typical distributions that merely pack digital titles.
However, it lacks a few productivity tools that otherwise would make it
a daily computing driver out of the box. This is a distro targeting game
players who want good desktop performance.

Instagram May Roll Out App for 'Real Friends' Sharing
A new application may be in the works that allows Instagram users to
share real-time information with their closest friends. Called
"Threads," the app allows users to set up automatic sharing with their
closest Instagram buddies of such information as location, movement and
battery life, as well as text, video and photo messages generated using
Instagram's tools.
