Who’s afraid of the big, bad AI?

By Jeff Poor In 1998, then-New York Times columnist Paul Krugman infamously and incorrectly predicted the internet would have a minimal impact on the economy. “By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.” Krugman has gotten a lot wrong in his career, despite being awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2008. However, that prediction is one he will likely never live do…Artificial Intelligence · Monroeville Read Article

“I Hope to Do so in Several novels.” on Harper Lee's Silence

Harper Lee's work is a mystery.
