Boston Dynamics’ bipedal robot Atlas is now tossing tool bags around a (fake) construction site

What do we have? Oil, gold and silver spiking in price, and violent exchanges between Iran, the United States and many other countries in the Middle East.
Now, water assets like desalination plants in Bahrain and Iran are being blown up. Add the worst water shortage in decades in Iran as a backdrop to constant bombing, and you have a situation that could...

No Real People Were Polled: AI Is Now Fabricating What "The Public Thinks"
The other day Axios ran a piece that cited "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses.

Silicon sampling isn’t polling. It is the outright fabrication of public opinion by...
