Amazon’s voice-activated virtual assistant, Alexa, may soon have the capability to identify who is speaking to it – a feature that will push the technology even further into the Big Brother realm. Voice recognition technology is nothing new, but Alexa will be the first voice assistant on the market to offer this feature. Amazon developers […]

By the time robots become intelligent enough to rise up and destroy their human creators, we may have given them good reason to do so. There is a growing debate concerning whether or not robots should be taxed, and presumably, robots won’t like that any more than people do. All joking aside, the idea of […]

Maybe someday it will menacingly order citizens to drop their weapons — or else  a la Robocop. (Article by Robert Cadwallader republished from Star-telegram.com) But for now, the Knightscope crime-fighting robots, demonstrated for the University of Texas at Arlington Police Department and the media on Thursday, are limited to less aggressive tasks like scanning license plates […]

On 11 March 2011, Japan was hit by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, followed shortly thereafter by a huge tsunami, leaving 16,000 people dead and 160,000 homeless.

Musk says he was approached by an unnamed pair of acquaintances who requested a week-long flight to the moon. He has not provided the pair’s identity or […]

In 2015, according to Business Insider, Google engineers were programming “an advanced kind of chatbot.” These earlier Artificial Intelligence (AI) machines were learning how to respond to questions after given input containing specific types of dialogue. The engineers were pleased to discover their AI machines were gaining proficiency in “forming new answers to new questions.” And although some AI responses were creative, they were tinged with malevolence. Here is […]

New research in the field of magnetically-controlled robots may lead to the development of “minimally invasive” therapies for cancer and the creation of other groundbreaking medical procedures. Miniaturizing medical tools to make them less invasive and more precise has long been one of the aims of medical research, and in recent years there have been […]

Advancements in technology have surpassed our wildest dreams over the past several decades. What many people once considered to be science fiction is now reality, and similarly, what we think is impossible today will become possible tomorrow. We have devices that can talk to us and tell us virtually anything we need to know, cars […]

MARK Zuckerberg appears to have accidentally revealed plans to use artificial intelligence to spy on Facebook users’ private messages in a bid to combat “terrorism”. (Article by Jasper Hamill from Thesun.co.uk) The billionaire hinted at this controversial scheme in an early version of a 6,000-word manifesto about Facebook’s future.

According to a study by the British think tank, Reform, robots could potentially replace 90 percent of federal workers, a transition that would save the government an estimated $8 billion per year. The study indicates that robots would be much more efficient than humans when it comes to data collection, processing paperwork and other routine […]

The system. The machine. The man. The powers that be. Whatever you choose to call the hidden power structure that pulls many of the strings in our country and world, its function is still the same: to enslave the people of our planet with agenda-driven propaganda, fake fiat currencies, endless war, toxins and disease, chemical […]

Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, uncharacteristically tweeted back at a recent New York Post article touting the technological titan’s plans to create a “two-story automated grocery store” with a 20% profit margin made possible by automation and robot employees. The article decreed that potentially 2000 of these grocery stores, ranging “between 10,000 and 40,000 square feet” were on Amazon’s radar. Those unheard […]

Boston Dynamics, a robotics company owned by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, has developed some amazing robots over the past few years, but none quite so “nightmare-inducing” as its latest creation, called “Handle.” Handle hasn’t been officially unveiled to the public, but a group of investors were recently given a glimpse of its capabilities in a […]

Mark Zuckerberg and his team of social engineers are hoping to push the Facebook platform one step closer to singularity by developing new ways to invade the human mind in order to spy on people’s thoughts. According to reports, the social media giant is tasking a team of neuroscientists with developing a so-called “brain-computer interface” […]
