• The Daily Mail love the robot-stealing-our-jobs meme – now reporting that even George Clooney is at risk
• The behind-the-scene pics of Amazon warehouses is an annual thing, with the Guardian highlighting their Kiva bots
• Beliefnet’s Harry J Bentham writes about faith, atheism, death and transhumanism on Humanity+
• The Economist reports (£) on the EU’s attempts to make laws for robots and reports various difficulties
• Lincoln Cannon, a Mormon transhumanist, writes on religion for the (pro h+) Institute for Ethics & Emerging Technologies
• Michael Hanlon writes for Aeon on a stalling in technological development since the 70s (& Matt Novak responds)
