Robots are stronger, and now faster, than humans

Pentagon’s Robot Cheetah Outruns Usain Bolt. (And nope, it doesn’t have wheels. Instead, it has four legs.)

P.S. Please accept the greatest gift I can give.

P.P.S. Thanks to all who continue to make my novels a success. Little Man, and the Dixon County War has gone as high as No. 16 on the Amazon UK Paid List (see here and here), and Sold Out has already gone as high as No. 81 on the Amazon Paid List for the category of War (see here and here). Learn more about both books here.

That’s somewhat disturbing. At least to me.

    Like they did in The Terminator? We had better start looking for John Connor, or at least his equal!

But they still can’t write great fiction.

  Wow. I’ve never considered that.
  
  You know, I think you’re correct. It’d be nearly impossible to create a computer that could write.

    But I’m still very fond of R2D2 and C3PO.
