Robot artist Ai-Da released by Egyptian border guards

3 hours ago

A British-built robot that uses cameras and a robotic arm to create abstract art has been released after Egyptian authorities detained it at customs.

Ai-Da, named for the mathematician Ada Lovelace, was seized by border agents last week who feared her robotics may have been hiding covert spy tools.

Officials held the robot for 10 days, imperilling plans to show her work at the Great Pyramid of Giza on Thursday.

Don't have a picture but do have a story.

I am the only person out of my 4 coworkers who are my age who knows how to read a regular clock with a minute and hour hand. Everyone else has either forgotten or never learned. They cannot remember a time without social media and one of them struggled to use a TV despite being in his early 20s. He forgot how to use a tv remote. Technology has progressed fast.

Also, in my neighborhood, there are bitcoin atms and 3d printers being sold in stores.

This is primordial transhumanism: an extra hand!
