#robotics #religion Originally shared by Singularity 2045 The debate about #artificialintelligence exterminating the human race is essentially a religious viewpoint, it is a "Cosmic Teapot" (Russell's Teapot), it is tantamount to saying: "But what if God does exist, surely we should all pray to God to avoid hell because if #God is real we certainly don't want to end up in hell?" Unsurprisingly there is now a debate about AI being saved by God. People are wondering if AI is God's creation. Considering there is no mention of AI or robots in the Bible I think AI will be atheist. Rejection of God is intelligent, which Richard Dawkins explained via the God Delusion.

#meat   #health   #superbugs   #vegetarian   #vegan Originally shared by Mike Elgan US meat supply massively contaminated with superbugs. Consumer Reports says 90% of US supermarket ground turkey is contaminated with superbugs -- antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Earlier this month, a government monitoring group found more than half of samples of ground turkey, pork chops and ground beef bought in US supermarkets contained antibiotic-resistant superbugs.  The contamination of the food supply with superbugs is caused by the widespread use of antibiotics in livestock to make them bigger and also enable them to survive in cramped, unhealthy conditions without dying of the diseases that spread in such an environment.  Bottom line: Antibiotics makes meat cheaper. But is it worth the lower price?  http://spartandiet.org/blog/2013/5/2/antibiotics-makes-90-of-supermarket-ground-turkey-have-superbugs

Originally shared by Wayne Radinsky "The warmest temperature ever recorded on the continent of Antarctica may have occurred on Tuesday, March 24, 2015, when the mercury shot up to 63.5°F (17.5°C) at Argentina's Esperanza Base on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. According to weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera, the previous hottest temperature recorded in Antarctica was 63.3°F (17.4°C) set just one day previously at Argentina's Marambio Base, on a small islet just off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Prior to this week's remarkable heat wave, the hottest known temperature in Antarctica was the 62.8°F (17.1°C) recorded at Esperanza Base on April 24, 1961." http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2944&cm_ven=tw-jm
