Caveat Emptor, When Rippln Comes Rippln [Videos]

by Ron Callari

Normally, MLM (multiple level marketing) pyramid schemes appeal to desperate folks who are down on their luck and/or are willing to buy into anything that promises them a quick return.

Angelina: An AI That Makes Video Games

by Nicholas.Greene

Something fundamentally human which we've not yet been able to replicate in an artificial context.
