China Now Has AI-Powered Judges
Beijing is bringing AI judges to court. The move, proclaimed by China as "the first of its kind in the world", comes from the Beijing Internet Court, which has launched an online litigation service center featuring an artificially intelligent female judge, with a body, facial expressions, voice, and actions all modeled off a living, breathing human (one of the court's actual female judges, to be exact).
[...] But conspiracy theorists can breathe a sigh of relief — the AI apocalypse is not nigh (yet). This virtual judge, whose abilities are based on intelligent speech and image synthesizing technologies, is to be used for the completion of “repetitive basic work” only, according to the Beijing Internet Court’s official statement on the move. That means she’ll mostly be dealing with litigation reception and online guidance. Other features of the online service center include a mobile micro-court and an official Weitao (Taobao's social-media service for brands) account.
Rather than replacing human-populated courts, Beijing's Internet Court’s stated mission is to use new technology to provide more effective, more widely-reaching public services. According to court president Zhang Wen, integrating AI and cloud computing with the litigation service system will allow the public to better reap the benefits of technological innovation in China.
For the first time in China, #AI assistive technology was used in a trial at Shanghai No 2 Intermediate People's Court on Wed, the Legal Daily reported. When the judge, public prosecutor or defender asked the AI system, it displayed all related evidence on a courtroom screen. pic.twitter.com/fEI7cR5U3T

Watch the movie Lexx. Scary dystopian far future. The judges are holographic, and you are guaranteed to lose an organ.

Electric Eels [wikipedia.org] have electric organs. It would be a shame to loose one of those. Especially if it predates MIDI. But then there is the question of "which of these two men has the largest organ?" This naturally leads to the followup question of whether the pipes, external speakers or other apparatus are counted in the size, or is only the keyboard equipment counted? Finally a lost organ might be found after a careful search is conducted.

The first season were originally 4 movies entitled "Tales from an Alternate Universe" on Showtime. They were cut into the first season. Eva Habermann was Zev who was killed at the end of the forth movie, Xenia Seeberg was Xev reconstituted from leftover Eva goo for the next three seasons.
Dark and twisted, one of my all time favorite series (4th season kinda sucked, like BSG, finding Earth is never a good thing for a series).
As the commercials of the time said, "are you ready for some strange?"

Yeah, that's an accurate description.
It gets weirder from there.
It was pretty risque for its era, and would never get made today in the 'I'm offended by everything climate.'
I love a lot of bad movies though...MST3K fan since the first episodes.
My 'Skull and Crossbones' movie collection consists of a lot of so bad they're good movies.
