Robo Jazz
at
Georgia Tech’s improvisational robotic marimba player Shimon joins a jazz band on stage at Washington’s Kennedy Centre. To wit:
Georgia Tech’s Robotic Musicians and Musical Cyborgs features Shimon, the robotic marimba player, alongside other robotic musicians and a drummer who wears an assistive robotic drumming prosthesis. Shimon utilizes artificial intelligence and creativity algorithms that push musical experiences and outcomes to uncharted domains.
Niiiice.
US President Donald Trump at a rally in Nashville, Tennessee yesterday
The fate of a nation’s healthcare
Is suddenly up in the air
They can’t reach accord
And the president’s bored
It’s all gone the shape of a pear.

Ray Hernan, acting CEO of Bus Éireann
In a letter yesterday Bus Éireann’s Acting CEO Ray Hernan notified staff of the immediate implementation of reforms, and said that there was no basis for convening further talks.
In a statement this afternoon, the NBRU said the letter:
“is clearly the straw that has broken the back in terms of spelling out exactly what the real agenda is here, the new management structure at Bus Éireann have clearly signalled that they are intent on pursuing a race to the bottom in relation to workers jobs, terms and conditions.
And to reposition Bus Éireann as a low cost transport provider, mimicking some of the rogue operators that populate the so-called interurban market.”
FIGHT!
