Reviewing AI’s starring role in cinema - ITWeb

Artificial intelligence (AI) has always sparked storytellers' imaginations, bringing them into new, imaginative worlds. Movies, as a strong storytelling medium, provide us a peek into the future possibilities of AI and the impacts it might have on existence.Earlier films such as "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "The Terminator" depicted AI and robots as entities that develop self-awareness and, consequently, a desire to overthrow or harm their human creators.HAL 9000, the intelligent computer in "...

Hal Foster - We are our apps

Art​ history was shaken in the 1970s and 1980s, and the epicentre was 19th-century art. Emboldened by the resurgent Marxism and feminism of the 1960s, engaged scholars including T.J. Clark, Thomas Crow, Linda Nochlin and Griselda Pollock asked difficult questions about class, audience, gender and sexuality, questions that were soon rumbling through other fields as well.Yet disruptive though these inquiries were, they mostly continued to insist on the centrality of the French avant-garde. Even...

While some might not find the concept of soil classification very interesting and some may in-fact wonder why we need it all, it is actually a very important factor that people such as farmers and town planners have to take into account.

Do we add Robotpocalypse to the list of threats to humanity we created? - Daily Kos

When I watched Boston Dynamics’ robodog Spot dancing to "Uptown Funk" in its 2018 video premiere, my amusement mingled with apprehension. Spot’s predecessor, a 2006 prototype BigDog, was promoted as an unarmed pack mule by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), useful for traversing terrain too rugged for vehicles. Fifteen years later, Spot is a dancer that displays awful potential, although Boston Dynamics prohibits weaponizing their dogs. What we see in the robodo...

The Curious Symbolism of Autumn in Literature and Myth

Autumn is at once symbolic of plenty, ripening, harvest, and abundance; and, at the same time, a symbol of decay, decline, old age, and even death, with associations of things being past their prime. To understand this we need to look at how writers have depicted autumn in poetry and other literature. In classical Greek mythology, the goddess of autumn was Carpo, who was part of the Horae or Hours, three goddesses who were the offspring of Zeus and Aphrodite and represented the three se...

Top 10 Robots in Pop Culture History - Analytics Insight

Technology was never able to keep up with storytellers’ imaginations, and every medium’s history is littered with fantastically designed robots of different forms, sizes, and purposes. This interest is understandable. The robot notion is so broad that it allows for an infinite variety of designs and concepts. Perhaps more intriguing is the fact that robots are frequently employed, paradoxically, to cut through to a bigger truth about humans. Others, on the other hand, just feed our primo...
