Lese-Empfehlung: Constanze Kurz und Frank Rieger machen einen Ausflug zu den Maschinen, die unsere Arbeitsplätze ersetzt haben, in Getreide-Anbau und Ernte, in deren Verarbeitung, in Raffinerien und in Druckereien. Und Sie diskutieren die Zukunft, der Maschinen, die uns ersetzen werden, Robotern, die Produkte zusammenschweißen, die selbstständig durch Fabrikhallen fahren, von Autos, die bald das gleich tun können. Und Sie geben einen Ausblick, wie auch kreative Arbeit bedroht ist. Wie Bankautomaten den Bank-Mitarbeiter ersetzt haben, wie schon heute Nachrichten-Quellen automatisiert für den Handel ausgewertet und auch dieser an den Finanzmärkten automatisiert betrieben wird, und ein Start-Up sogar Sportberichterstattung einem Programm beibringt.

'Venom' bigger than Heartbleed

Security researchers say the zero-day flaw affects “millions” of machines in datacenters around the world.
