Otherwise, if they are unemployed, idle brain, then idle brain will be devil’s workshop. That is happening. Because everyone is not employed, they have discovered machine, and the machine is working hundred men’s work. So actually, a hundred men are unemployed. So the machine has not improved the situation. It has improved the pocket of the capitalist. But it has not improved the condition of the mass of people. No. They are unemployed. Therefore, in the Western countries, because the machine and industry, therefore, now they are producing from the university hippies. Unemployed.

Robo reporting can expand the audience
In its first year, the Post has produced around 850 articles using Heliograf. That included 500 articles around the election that generated more than 500,000 clicks — not a ton in the scheme of things, but most of these were stories the Post wasn’t going to dedicate staff to anyway. For the 2012 election, for example, the Post did just 15 percent of what it generated in 2016.

Robots can help reporters
Media outlets using AI say it’s meant to enable journalists to do more high-value work, not take their jobs. The AP estimated that it’s freed up 20 percent of reporters’ time spent covering corporate earnings and that AI is also moving the needle on accuracy. “In the case of automated financial news coverage by AP, the error rate in the copy decreased even as the volume of the output increased more than tenfold,” said Francesco Marconi, AP’s strategy manager and AI co-lead.

The Post is also trying to figure out how to use Heliograf to help its journalists with substantive reporting. During the election, it used Heliograf to alert the newsroom when election results started trending in an unexpected direction, giving reporters lead time to thoroughly cover the news. Gilbert wants Heliograf to play a more ambitious role in the next election. He also sees the potential for Heliograf to do legwork for reporters in other ways, like spotting trends in financial and other big data sets. “We think we can help people find interesting stories,” he said. Heliograf also can be deployed to update ongoing stories like weather events in real time, providing a service to readers.

    Associated Press (AP) is a Zionist propaganda rag which prints100% lies, promotes the New World Order, CO2 Global Warming myth and a plethora of misinformation to keep the stupid, plebian hordes, brainwashed and sedated. Associated press is owned by the Rothschilds who are Members of the Satanic Freemason Illuminati.

    The Washington Post is owned by Bilderberg Group member, Jeff Bezos (also owner of Amazon) who is also a Freemason and promoter of the CO2 Global Warming myth. He also supports Freemason Ilon Musk’s Space-X which is the LATEST INSTALLMENT OF THE FREEMASON ILLUMINATI “SPACE PROGRAM”. All of this is FAKE, just like the “MOON LANDING” and designed to create a Godless, technological, brain-dead mindset that it is really ”man” himself who is really in control, and the illusion that their fake ”advancements”, are going to produce wonderful things for humanity “just imagine it!”.

    Whether the WaPo or UP uses “human robots” or metal ones won’t really make much difference. What will make a difference though is if these media giants are exposed for what they are and people stop buying and reading this Satan inspired, lying propaganda. This pseudo-journalistic, Zionist, Deep State trash is just ”poison food” for the billions of fools, rascals and half-wits that are taken in by it, and leading them all to a continuing and declining, hellish and enchained existence.
