I subscribe to the BBC news feed so I can stay informed on topics the American media is afraid to cover, and boy, am I now relieved I do. I have had some sleepless nights since Mrs. Curmudgeon picked up a used Roomba from eBay, but now I, with Philip K. Dick's androids, can blissfully dream of electric sheep. The Cambridge Project for Existential Risk will, in the words of the BBC, study the "risk of a robot uprising wiping out the human race." Let's hear it for bold, and absolutely necessary, scientific inquiry.
As Mrs. Curmudgeon is prone to ask, how do I get any work done?
