Is bigger really better?
The United States is facing a housing crisis: Affordable housing is inadequate, while luxury homes abound. Homelessness remains a persistent problem in many areas of the country.
Despite this, popular culture has often focused on housing as an opportunity for upward mobility: the American Dream wrapped within four walls and a roof. The housing industry has contributed to this belief as it has promoted ideals of “living better.” Happiness is marketed as living with both more space and more amenities.
As an architect and scholar who examines how we shape buildings and how they shape us, I’ve examined the trend toward “more is better” in housing. Opulent housing is promoted as a reward for hard work and diligence, turning housing from a basic necessity into an aspirational product.
DeepMind’s AI taught itself to navigate like a mammal
DeepMind’s latest breakthrough could change our understanding of both AI and the way mammal’s brains work. A spontaneous development in the company’s neural network could solve neuron-based mystery.


Goldwasser, O. 2006. “King Apophis of Avaris and the Emergence of Monotheism.” In: Timelines, ed. E. Czerny et al., vol. II, Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta 149/II, 129–133. Peeters: Leuven
This evidence firmly identifies Set of Avaris as the first monotheistic deity (150 years before Akhnaten). Since monotheists claim there is only one “God”, aren’t they all really worshipping Set under different names and guises? The cruel cult of baby sacrifice throughout the OT clearly resembles the deity worshipped by King Apophis, Set, who becomes sole ruler by murdering his rivals (and banning their prieshoods).

Inside Google, A Debate Rages: Should It Sell Artificial Intelligence to the Military?
Pichai’s challenge is to find a way of reconciling Google’s dovish roots with its future. Having spent more than a decade developing the industry’s most formidable arsenal of AI research and abilities, Google is keen to wed those advances to its fast-growing cloud-computing business. Rivals are rushing to cut deals with the government, which spends billions of dollars a year on all things cloud. No government entity spends more on such technology than the military. Medin and Alphabet director Schmidt, who both sit on the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board, have pushed Google to work with the government on counter-terrorism, cybersecurity, telecommunications and more.
To win in the business of cloud computing, the company tiptoes into the business of war. Some staff fear it’s a first step toward autonomous killing machines.
