Let’s pause a moment to imagine what happens if and when sophisticated autonomous become cheap enough for even small groups of technically capable insurgents and terrorists to use at scale. 🤷🏽‍♀️ There’s controversy over where and whom the Abqaiq–Khurais attack came from. Even in cases like this, where video exists and wreckage is indicative — “serial numbers on some of the missiles used by the Yemeni rebels in past attacks reveal their Iranian origin” — attribution is hard. What happens if and when autonomous attack drones can be built relatively easily from off-the-shelf parts?

Let us connect some dots. 👀 Five years ago, Facebook acquired VR pioneers Oculus for $2 billion. This week, it snapped up neural-interface pioneers CTRL-Labs for somewhere north of $500 million, and announced that its own massively multiplayer shared universe Horizon will launch early next year. Their big multibillion-dollar bet, 💰the vision floating in Mark’s crystal ball,🔮is this new frontier called “cyberspace” or “the Oasis,” borrow from READY PLAYER ONE, a copy of which was once issued to every new Oculus Gaming employee. , in other words, and/or maybe , which combines our real world with virtual artifacts. Of course, "mixed reality" isn’t Facebook’s only vision of the future. It’s just one of their bets. Another is to essentially pivot from social-media advertising to messaging and transactions. You have to grudgingly admire their willingness to explore abandoning their current fantastically successful business model in favor of the untried and untested. Anything to disrupt the innovator’s dilemma. Keep reading this week's Crunch Special 👉 https://buff.ly/2m8kR9A 🗞 to find out Facebook’s plan for our post-web future.

I really wish I hadn’t had cause to write this piece, but it recently came to my attention, in an especially unfortunate way, that death in the modern era can have a complex and difficult technical aftermath. You should make a will, of course. Of course, you should make a will. But many wills only dictate the disposal of your assets. 💰What will happen to the other digital aspects of your life, when you’re gone? There are several good guides to “digital wills” and one’s “digital legacy” out there, including handling your Facebook and Google accounts, do you administer a Slack workspace?

MIT Media Lab has always occupied a curious place in the tech world. 🌎According to itself, it “transcends known boundaries and disciplines by actively promoting a unique, antidisciplinary culture that emboldens unconventional mixing and matching of seemingly disparate research areas …while it’s an academic institution 🎓it has always been exceptionally business-oriented. “At first glance, much of the Media Lab’s research may seem tangential to current business realities, but for more than 30 years, the Lab has demonstrated that seemingly “far out” research can find its way into the most conventional—and useful—applications …The Media Lab has spawned dozens of new products by our members, and over 150 start-up companies,” to quote, again, them. Wouldn’t you have expected so, so much more from Media Lab? Keep reading this week's Crunch Special 👉https://buff.ly/2ZKC9fu 🗞to learn more about Media Lab and its impacts on the world. 👀
