Machine Learning

If you've ever wanted your World of Warcraft characters to have their hair displaying under their helmets (instead of mysteriously vanishing), you might be in luck: there's a chance we're getting exactly that at some point in the future.

This is an interesting use of machine learning, and compared to what I'm always afraid they'll do with it -- namely, create a super AI that will realize how awful our species is and wipe us all out like the plague we are -- making Diablo 2 cutscenes sharper is a pretty good one.

Blizzard has made it no secret it's being aggressive in its battle against toxicity in Overwatch.
