AI Companion Robots Are Closing the Human Connection in Modern Homes
This article is brought to you by Ollobot . From about 2017, individuals began to truly connect with the initial wave of companion robots. These devices had personality, moved around, joked, and answered when you spoke to them. Most early companion robots, however, were still limited by simple voice-command interactions and narrow functionality. Once the novelty wore off, many ended up sitting unused on shelves. As some of those companies went out of business and turned off their servers, many owners likened it to losing a pet. What Ollobot describes as “gentle intelligence” is a useful way to think about where the serious work in this category is going. Not toward more powerful assistants, but toward more present ones. The problem companion robots were trying to solve Loneliness is not a niche issue. According to one study , nearly one out of three elderly adults resides alone, meaning

IBM Built the Cold War’s Most Powerful Code Breaker for the NSA
At the height of the Cold War, one very specialized computer was so secret that the world didn’t know it existed. It ran its jobs up to 200 times as fast as any other computer of its time. It was the U.S. National Security Agency’s main cryptographic processor in operation from the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 through the Vietnam War and on past the 1975 Helsinki Accords . The machine stopped running only when its moving parts finally gave out. The Harvest computer mattered because of what it was as well as when it ran. For 14 years, it was the engine processing the NSA’s most sensitive intercepts at a time when signals intelligence was as close to a strategic weapon as anything short of a warhead. Designed and built by IBM for the NSA, Harvest was one of the first machines designed to apply operations to enormous datasets rushing past, a precursor to the computers today that
