The general hype around all things AI is not lifting all boats, as certain startups continue to struggle and look for exits. In one of the latest developments, The Tech Spothas learned and confirmed that Metropolis, an AI-powered parking platform, has acquired Oosto, the controversial computer vision company that used to be known as AnyVision. The Tech Spot understands the all-stock deal is valued at $125 million — just one-third of the $380 million that the startup had raised from investors over the years, and likely a fraction of its peak valuation.

These are mainly co-op games, but there are a few options for competitive gaming here as well. If you want…

For the middle of January, Hulu has added a handful of movies from last year that didn’t make waves in theaters when they were released. Not every film was made to be a blockbuster, and this trio certainly wasn’t. But they are our picks for the three great Hulu movies that you need to stream this weekend. Our first two choices are both crime thrillers, but in different ways. The second pick kind of reminds of Lost in Translation, if Bill Murray’s character was a hit man. Finally, our remaining pick is so family-friendly that’s practically a Disney movie. My…
