Mark Zuckerberg Prepares For Congressional Testimony By Poring Over Lawmakers’ Personal Data The Onion
It's a science fiction trope as old as the genre itself: humans create incredible robots, those incredible robots rise up against their human creators, chaos ensues. It's the basis for Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics". And, to many, this scenario is just that—a sci-fi nightmare. But as artificially intelligent ...

^**Genevieve Bell: 'Humanity's greatest fear is about being irrelevant'

Why Westworld Is a 21st Century Golem Story
In January 1818, a woman barely out of her teens unleashed a terrifying tale on the world: the story of a doctor who builds a creature from scavenged body parts, then recoils in horror, spurns it, and sees his friends and family destroyed by the monster. Two hundred years later, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is still essential reading for anyone working in science. The ill-fated creator she portrays has influenced public perception of the scientific enterprise unlike any other character, forever haunting the borderland between what science can do and what it should do.
The story has mutated and it has frequently been mangled. It has spawned countless books, plays, and movies—some pictured on these pages—and even a superhero comic. It has inspired technophobes and scientists alike. "Franken-" has become a passe-partout prefix for anything deemed unnatural or monstrous
The lasting legacy of Frankenstein
There are a variety of golem stories in Jewish lore. The best-known golem was created by the 16th-century Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel (the Maharal of Prague), molded from clay to defend the Jews of Prague. In the end, however, the rabbi lost control of his creation. It ran amok and threatened the community until Rabbi Loew forcefully removed a piece of paper he had placed in its mouth with the mystical name of God on it. The golem dissolved back into a heap of clay.

Recommendations for creating jobs and economic security in the U.S. Josh Bivens, Economic Policy Institute. Sandy Darity: “Not awful but job creation with a stigmatized guarantee. Not the universal job guarantee that we have in mind. Why pursue this indirect route to full employment when we can pursue a direct route?” Perhaps I’m overly jaded and cynical, but these recommendations look like the “Medicare Extra” of Jobs Guarantees to me.* * * 10 YEARS AFTER THE CRISIS.
