Discovery Melting Hearts, Will Yours?

Garth Beyer

If you haven’t heard by now, a new animal has been discovered. Welcome, the olinguito.

OlinguitoI thought we were at the point when we only discovered new insects or alien species at the bottom of the ocean, yet, here we are, a newly discovered mammal.

It doesn’t take much to melt the hearts of animal lovers. It’s simple. I would argue that it’s simple for lover X, Y, and Z too. All that you need to do is work your magic and combine works of art. Or, in the olinguito’s case, a teddy bear and a house cat.

There’s always room at the top, whether it’s the animal cuteness chart or Forbes Best 100 Companies list. It only requires you to search and craft something outside of the box.

Robot Journalism

Garth Beyer

I recently read an article in the New York Magazine titled “The (Robot) Creative Class.” It mentioned that robots are being created to do the work of a comedian, musician, bartender, and – what stood out to me – journalist. It noted that,

Developed with Northwestern University’s prestigious Medill School of Journalism, Chicago-based Narrative Science created a computer program that writes basic news articles like sports-game summaries and earnings reports. It already has at least 30 clients, including Forbes and sports heavyweight the Big Ten Network.

I like to believe that, sure, robots can do the menial parts of what is required of a journalist, heck, possibly robots can have their own genre of journalism, we’ll call it Robot Journalism. I wouldn’t mind reading what a robot thinks.

Would you?
