Jeff Bezos just perfectly summed up what you need to know about artificial intelligence
Business Insider
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. New advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning promise to make some jobs obsolete through automation and change our world forever, experts say. It's hard to put into words what AI is - many of the terms people use are very technical - but Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos just summed up everything most people need to know about artificial intelligence in his latest shareholder letter. Bezos wrote: "Over the past decades computers have broadly automated tasks that Read the full story

The best antivirus software of 2017
techradar
Whether it's browser hijackers grabbing your search page, or the latest ransomware encrypting all your files, every PC (and even your smartphone!) needs a sterling antivirus package to keep threats at bay. Don't rely on Microsoft's very own Windows Defender to keep you safe. Sure, it's free and easy to use, but independent tests show its protection rates regularly dip below 90%, compared to 99.x% for the leading competition. This doesn't mean you have to start spending big money. Opting for a Read the full story

Google's new AI experiment will turn you into an artistic genius
The Inquirer
GOOGLE HAS launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) experiment that will turn you from a doodler to a master sketcher. Google Auto Draw is available online, and at face value looks like a simple art package of the MS Paint variety. But once you start drawing, Auto Draw will use a Google neural network to start making predictions, both of individual shapes, and the entire finished drawing, turning this… thing… into this… Auto Draw also recognises individual shapes within the drawing and can Read the full story

MIT Technology Review: The Dark Secret at the Heart of AI
The Dark Secret at the Heart of AI
MIT Technology Review
Last year, a strange self-driving car was released onto the quiet roads of Monmouth County, New Jersey. The experimental vehicle, developed by researchers at the chip maker Nvidia, didn't look different from other autonomous cars, but it was unlike anything demonstrated by Google, Tesla, or General Motors, and it showed the rising power of artificial intelligence. The car didn't follow a single instruction provided by an engineer or programmer. Instead, it relied entirely on an algorithm that Read the full story

If you're like most Americans, you don't live around or socialize with people with whom you disagree with politically. This self-sorting by political ideology is why so many people were shocked Donald Trump won last November ("But I don't know anyone who voted for him") while half(ish) of the country knew it was happening all along.

Le Cinq, Paris: restaurant review | Life and style | The Guardian
There is only one thing worse than being served a terrible meal: being served a terrible meal by earnest waiters who have no idea just how awful the things they are doing to you are. And so, to the flagship Michelin three-star restaurant of the George V Hotel in Paris, or the scene of the crime as I now like to call it. In terms of value for money and expectation Le Cinq supplied by far the worst restaurant experience I have endured in my 18 years in this job. This, it must be said, is an achievement of sorts.
