Mike Rowe reveals which American jobs will remain untouched by the coming AI revolution
MikeroweWORKS Foundation founder Mike Rowe joins'The Brian Kilmeade Show' to discuss how AI and robots threaten white-collar jobs, as the nation faces a need for blue-collar workers. Mike Rowe is sounding the alarm about the future of white and blue-collar jobs, and is urging young Americans to rethink their career choices due to threats from artificial intelligence. The former star of the shows "How America Works" and "Dirty Jobs" sat down with Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade to discuss the outlook for the U.S. job market amid recent developments from President Donald Trump's administration to invest in domestic energy and artificial intelligence. Trump visited Pittsburgh on July 15 to announce a 90 billion investment in data centers and other energy projects in Pennsylvania. Rowe was also present at the event, dubbed the Energy and Investment Summit, at Carnegie Mellon University.

Do Androids Dream of Anything at All?
Although the literature of automatism has existed in one mold or another since the late Middle Ages--with sixteenth-century folktales about a golem made of clay and summoned to life, through ritual incantation, to defend Prague's Jewish community --its modern form was set in motion by a play called "R.U.R.," by the Czech writer Karel Čapek. Its 1921 première, also in Prague, set the agenda for the next century, and it has remained an apparently ironclad convention that all critical writing about the genre begin there. The drama gave us the word "robot," a derivative of an Old Slavic root related to "serfdom," and its narrative, of a rebellion among artificial workers, provided a metaphorical template--stories about robots are stories about labor and freedom. The word "robot" is still with us, and the underlying metaphor has a generous flexibility, encompassing two related but distinct ideas. One is that the first thing we would obviously do with artificial people is enslave them--as in, say, "Westworld."

'Bad idea': Conservatives warn red state data center bill will derail Trump's vision of energy 'golden age'
Yurts founder and CEO Ben Van Roo breaks down concerns over DeepSeek on The Will Cain Show. Conservatives on social media and in the public square are increasingly speaking out about a bill being mulled in the Texas legislature they say threatens President Donald Trump's goal of ushering in a "golden age" of American energy and AI dominance. Some conservatives are rebelling over a proposal in the Texas Senate that will give the state broad authority to control new data centers in the state. SB6, or "the data center bill," caused an online ruckus recently, with conservative opposition to the bill gaining momentum, arguing that the bill, should it pass, will impose a major roadblock to the Trump administration's "Golden Age" of American energy production. Texas, long believed to be an ideal location for the AI fueling data centers, is a major location for President Trump's multibillion-dollar Stargate plan and is considered a finalist for numerous other multibillion-dollar projects and investments over the next decade.
'Big Money and High Quality People': Stargate Joint Venture to Invest in U.S. AI Infrastructure
President Donald Trump on Tuesday talked up a joint venture investing up to 500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be 100 billion and could reach five times that sum. "It's big money and high quality people," said Trump, adding that it's "a resounding declaration of confidence in America's potential" under his new administration. Joining Trump fresh off his inauguration at the White House were Masayoshi Son of SoftBank, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Larry Ellison of Oracle.

Assassin's Creed Mirage: What to know about the 'Golden Age' of Baghdad
Whether you dream of holstering a flintlock pistol and sailing through the 18th-century Golden Age of Piracy or leading a clan of Vikings to settle in the fractured Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the 9th century, Assassin's Creed video games have you covered. Since 2007, the popular action-adventure series created by video game publisher Ubisoft has been taking gamers on adventures around the globe through different historical periods. With its 13th instalment released on Thursday, Assassin's Creed Mirage attempts to immerse players in Iraq's 9th-century Baghdad during the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate, when it was one of the most significant cities in the world. Today's capital of Iraq is often associated, especially by those in the West, with the United States war and the destruction it brought more than two decades ago. But in Assassin's Creed Mirage, the game attempts to give players a glimpse into the rich and diverse history of the Abbasid Caliphate during the Islamic Golden Age.

New Assassin's Creed video game brings Baghdad's 'golden age' back to life
For centuries, Baghdad seemed to stand at the centre of the world. Chosen as the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate around the year 762, the city rose from the banks of the Tigris River with circular city walls enfolding lush palaces, becoming a beacon for the world's great creative, cultural and scientific minds. One of the first astronomical observatories in the Islamic world was built in the city. Its library -- the House of Wisdom -- amassed vast collections of texts, enough to rival the Great Library of Alexandria. And its population swelled to over a million, as merchants and pioneers in mathematics, physics and machinery gathered within its gates.

Video Game Remakes Are in a Golden Age. That Could Be a Bad Thing
When the demo for the remake of Resident Evil 4 dropped in March, one presiding concern stood above all others: Would Leon say "Where's everyone going? The line comes early in the game, right after our coiffured all-American hero has seen his police escort burned alive. Leon is about to be butchered by pitchfork and chainsaw-wielding Spanish farmers, but then a tolling bell suddenly psychically summons them away. The line is amazingly stupid, and if he doesn't say it, I thought after seeing news of the demo, I'm joining the mob outside the Capcom offices. The culture industry loves a remake; it also loves a reboot, a remaster, a sequel, a prequel, a multiverse, and a cinematic universe.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Clichés
A few weeks ago, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, sent an email to the newsroom about clichés. To paraphrase: He wanted us to try harder to avoid them, because nobody comes to the website or the print magazine to be bored and annoyed. Did I think that this email was directed at me, personally, and that it referred to the unacceptable number of clichés in my writing? Well, he included a long list of specific words and phrases to avoid, and several of them looked … familiar. Needless to say, nonsense filler phrases such as needless to say are bound to slip into even not-lazy writing.
Artificial intelligence uncovers lost work by titan of Spain's 'Golden Age'
Lost or misattributed works by some of the finest writers of Spain's Golden Age could be discovered thanks to pioneering AI technology that has been used to identify a previously unknown play by the wildly prolific dramatist, poet, sailor and priest Lope de Vega. This week Spain's National Library announced that researchers trawling its massive archive had stumbled upon and verified a play that Lope is believed to have written a few years before his death in 1635. Like many plays of the Spanish Golden Age – the 16th- and 17th-century cultural boom that accompanied Spain's imperial growth and which birthed masterpieces by Lope, Cervantes, Calderón and Velázquez, among many others – La francesa Laura (The Frenchwoman Laura) is a tale of love, jealousy and social hierarchy in which suspicion demands an innocent woman be sacrificed on the altar of her husband's honour. But, unlike many similar plays of the period, Laura survives and the third act ends happily. Equally unusual was the manner of the play's discovery.
