This article was originally published by Finn Adereen at The Mises Institute.  There have been many comments in the last year about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, from such AI luminaries as Elon Musk, Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun, Gary Marcus, and others.

While most of the listed vehicles are standard sedans, pickups and SUVs, the Cybertrucks, known for their stainless steel exteriors and sharply angular design, are the only brand-specified models requested for target practice. Military planners…

Sometimes you need a driver, and other times, a five iron, a sand wedge, or a putter — and all the clubs in between. Like golf clubs, there’s really no one best walleye rod that does everything perfectly. Some get close to being the ultimate versatile walleye rod, but today’s walleye fishing is very technique specific.  I’ve spent the last year testing a wide variety of walleye rods on waters ranging from the Mississippi River, St. Croix River, Mille Lacs…
