So flummoxed are researchers by the uncanny, human-like brain power of the machine-learning technology they’ve created, that they’re censoring the AI’s open-source material from other tech pros after their word-smithing bot dashed off convincing, totally made-up stories for The Lord of the Rings, newspaper articles, and a speech by John F.

Logan Brinson loves to read, but until recently, the village of Alpha didn’t have a library of its own. He went to Alpha officials with his family and proposed setting up a small lending library in town. Logan’s Little Library opened to the public in summer 2018.
