Feedback learning and generalization in robotics takes a step forward.

I don't have any easy answers.I'm sure that there are plenty of socially useful things that these folk could do, and might even want to do. But there's no political will at present.What we see is that the scientists and engineers who developed the new technology are getting reasonable rewards for that.Unfortunately, most of the rewards are going to rich fatcats who have opposed any investment in fundamental research throughout their lives.If we were truly a Christian nation, those rich fatcats would sell what they have and give to the poor. But, instead, they move their assets to off-shore tax havens.We badly need a new generation of muckraking journalists and social reformers to stir things up.
