We're building an artificial intelligence-powered dystopia, one click at a time, says techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci. In an eye-opening talk, she details how the same algorithms companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon use to get you to click on ads are also used to organize your access to political and social information. And the machines aren't even the real threat. What we need to understand is how the powerful might use AI to control us -- and what we can do in response.

Friday afternoon, the Trump administration (aka 13 federal agencies) released a 1,656-page report describing the potentially disastrous effects of climate change on the U.S. economy. And while this report wasn't the first edition of the U.S. National Climate Assessment (the government is required to publish one every four years), it sounds the loudest alarm. The main takeaway? "With continued growth in emissions at historic rates, annual losses in some economic sectors are projected to reach hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century." In fact, the losses are already piling up. Here's a quick look at three different sectors profiled in the Na…

Did Jesus really say He was God? That’s exactly how Jesus’ original audience seemed to take it when He said, “I and the Father are one.” In fact, the Jews were ready to kill Him right there! Why? “Because you,” they said, “a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). On another occasion, He used the personal name of Israel’s God–the name revealed to Moses (Exodus 3:14)–to refer to Himself. And He even used the Torah for context, so no one would misunderstand Him: “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). This would be about wild as telling a Muslim, “I am your God, Allah.” Don’t try that in Saudi Arabia! It’s no wonder the Jews tried to stone Him to death. That was …

Wiped-Out Hedge Fund Manager Confessed His Losses on YouTube The collapse is a stunning turnabout for Cordier, who literally co-authored a book on the topic, "The Complete Guide to Option Selling.” In May, perhaps foreseeing trouble, he wrote an article in Futures magazine about the perils of trading in the gas market.

I realize you're seeing someone new But I don't believe she knows you like I do Your temperamental moody side The one you always try to hide from me But I know when you've got something on your mind You've been trying to tell me for the longest time But before you break my heart in two There's something I've been trying to say to you But the words get in the way There's so much I want to say But it's locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes We might fall in love again I won't even start to cry Before we say goodbye I'm trying to say I love you But the words get in the way Your heart has always been an open door But baby …

"Time flies when you're having fun" I heard somebody say But if all I've been is fun then baby let me go Don't wanna be in your way And I don't wanna be your second choice Don't wanna be just your friend You keep telling me that you're not in love You wanna throw it all away But I can't stay away from you I don't wanna let you go And though it's killing me, that's true There's just some things I can't control Your love is slipping through my hands And though I've heard it all before I know you're telling me the truth I know it's just no use But I can't stay away from you Hold on to every bit of hope that's all I ever do Hopi…

Next time we celebrate Columbus Day please remember these two facts about Christopher Columbus: Columbus rewarded his men with rape victims. His accounts said the men preferred little girls of ten years old because “they are tighter.” His army also practiced the tactic of raping in front of family members, eg raping a daughter in front of the father, wife in front of a husband, etc. to traumatize the entire family. He also fed his attack dogs with Native body parts. Sometimes they tossed wounded Natives to the dogs to watch them be torn apart. Sometimes they tossed living children. Did I miss something?

Luis Miguel fue abucheado por no aparecerse en el escenario inmediatamente después de que empezaron a sonar las notas de la canción "La fiesta del mariachi". El intérprete cantó la última parte del tema, por lo que sus fans reprobaron el retraso. Incluso, el evento que se realizó la noche del lunes en el Auditorio Nacional de la Ciudad de México tuvo una demora de 30 minutos. "El Sol" también empezó a deleitar con retraso a sus seguidores en la canción "El Bajalú", hecho que hizo que fuera resaltado con chiflidos. El cantante ignoró lo sucedido y respondió cantando "La Bikina". A pesar de que el intérprete intentó reanimar a sus seguidore…
