Not to detract from the gravity of the situation, but the main picture (and caption) are amazing.
"A man holds a laptop computer as cyber code is projected on him in this illustration picture taken on May 13, 2017."
- duxup 8y agoIt might sound weird but those kinds of silly cyber images ... make me trust a given story less. They just seem dumb.

It might be an automated choice, where the author or editor merely had to check a few boxes before publishing to get a remotely relevant clipart and caption, essentially. Saves a lot of time and money in an age where it's sort of a weird abstract form that needs to be fulfilled. -> Hed -> Byline - Date -> (Dek) -> Graphic -> Caption -> Body Copy That is, it's not to say the system is elegant, yet.... https://innovation.thomsonreuters.com/en/labs.html https://innovation.thomsonreuters.com/en/labs.html edit: LOL. Just a few more clicks brought me to this article. I laughed. https://blogs.thomsonreuters.com/answerson/art-artificial-intelligence/ https://blogs.thomsonreuters.com/answerson/art-artificial-in...
- elipsey 8y agoFantastic. In Ian Mcewan's novel 'Solar', the boorish physicist protagonist remarks that when people talk about "the planet" he assumes their remarks will be ignorant or frivolous and takes this as a cue to stop listening. This is how I feel about any utterance of the word "cyber" occuring after 1993.
