6 robotics companies to follow in 2019. PLEN Robotics ("the IoT of home appliances"), Amazon ("to begin seeding the robots in employees' homes"), Boston Dynamics (plans to commercialize SpotMini), Nvidia ("a new chip the company hopes will become the go-to brain for next-generation robots"), UBTech (Walker robot), and Segway ("Loomo a smart machine that toggles between a mini personal transporter and mobile robot sidekick").

"'Prison labor' is usually associated with physical work, but inmates at two prisons in Finland are doing a new type of labor: classifying data to train artificial intelligence algorithms for a startup."

"People need to read through hundreds of thousands of business articles scraped from the internet and label whether, for example, an article is about Apple the tech company or a fruit company that has 'apple' in the name."

"That's no problem for articles in English: Vainu simply set up an Amazon Mechanical Turk account to have people do these small tasks. But Mechanical Turk is 'not really that useful when you want to do something [with the] Finnish language."

The hologenome theory of evolution recasts the idea of organism from all the genetically identical cells, to all the cells in thier entirety that assemble as a singular unit as a community or a "holobiont". In other words; the host plus all of its symbiotic microbes, many of which perform vital functions.

I would say that the idea of a hologenone is a step in the right direction to get a clearer picture of the relationship engine that adaptively responds to the environment to remain coherent over time. As far as I can tell, an even better lens is to place the outer membrane of a coherent biological system around all the things in the entire ecosystem that contribute to the adaptive capacity of system to continue over time. For instance; oxygen and carbohydrate producing autotrophs need O2 breathing heterotrophs to produce CO2 and nitrates etc. This relationship entanglement between what are now considered separate organisms operates on the same principle as that between organs in a multicellular creature, or between organelles in eukaryotic cells or proteins in all cell types. This ectosymbiotic membrane seems to me to be a clearer representation of the nature of the complex adaptive system that sets itself up as a hedge against losing integrity due to antagonistic environmental influences.

I could be missing something(s)

How the Brain Links Gestures, Perception and Meaning | Quanta Magazine

'...Despite their variety, gestures can be loosely defined as movements used to reiterate or emphasize a message — whether that message is explicitly spoken or not. A gesture is a movement that “represents action,” but it can also convey abstract or metaphorical information. It is a tool we carry from a very young age, if not from birth; even children who are congenitally blind naturally gesture to some degree during speech. Everybody does it. And yet, few of us have stopped to give much thought to gesturing as a phenomenon — the neurobiology of it, its development, and its role in helping us understand others’ actions. As researchers delve further into our neural wiring, it’s becoming increasingly clear that gestures guide our perceptions just as perceptions guide our actions....'
