Real News Crazier than Comic Books - Robots Staff Hotel, Conduct Funerals, and Get Microsoft and Amazon to Play Nice, Seriously

Interesting news day, today Tech Insider shared this kind of neat and weird goings on:

 Henn-na Hotel is Japan's robot-staffed hotel. Nine different types of robots assist visitors as bellhops, front desk clerks, and concierges.  

Only in an attempt by Quartz to be just as neat and weird by sharing video of:

 The Japanese robot Pepper has worked in hospitals, as a receptionist and in restaurants as a waiter. Now it's been programmed to conduct Buddhist funerals. 

However little in this field will be topping today on CNBC, news you maybe have already heard about it was so big, Amazon and Microsoft teaming up their A.I. assistants:

 Amazon's voice-powered digital assistant Alexa will now be able to activate Microsoft's own assistant Cortana, and vice versa. 

Now the news may not seem as neat or weird as you having to speak to a robot dinosaur to check into a hotel, but give it time.
