ICYMI: A ban on kill-capable bots, data center design & more
Today on In Case You Missed It: Our society's most influential nerds wrote a letter urging the United Nations to ban autonomous weaponized robots out of fear of their potential killing capacity. IBM is redesigning its data centers to recycle air by forcing hot air through silica, getting cooler air cheaply. And researchers at Vanderbilt University designed a tiny pincher surgical tool that is only two millimeters thick, for use with smaller parts of the body.
The bonus video today comes from Roberto Baldwin's story about feeding his cats remotely with a gadget that sends food flying in their direction; a purrfect way to end the apparent robot destruction show we created today.
If you come across any interesting videos, we'd love to see them. Just tweet us with the #ICYMI hashtag @engadget or @mskerryd.
