GR II

[ish mailian]

If our world survives, the next great challenge to watch out for will
come - you heard it here first - when the curves of research and
development in artificial intelligence, molecular biology and robotics
all converge. Oboy. It will be amazing and unpredictable, and even the
biggest of brass, let us devoutly hope, are going to be caught
flat-footed. It is certainly something for all good Luddites to look
forward to if, God willing, we should live so long. Meantime, as
Americans, we can take comfort, however minimal and cold, from Lord
Byron's mischievously improvised song, in which he, like other
observers of the time, saw clear identification between the first
Luddites and our own revolutionary origins. It begins:

As the Liberty lads o'er the sea
Bought their freedom, and cheaply, with blood,
So we, boys, we
Will die fighting, or live free,
And down with all kings but King Ludd!

Russian President Vladimir Putin oversaw military exercises near
Crimea on Thursday, which included the launch of the hypersonic
'Kinzhal' missile, the TASS news agency reported.

Russia deployed its first hypersonic nuclear-capable missiles at the
end of 2019.

Just the day before, U.S. President Donald Trump announced in his
speech regarding the Iran strike on U.S. military assets in Iraq that
the U.S. is building hypersonic missiles.
