The theme of machine dominance would later find its way into numerous works of science fiction
Through the looking glass: In an era when the American Civil War dominated headlines, an English sheep farmer in New Zealand penned a letter that would prove remarkably prophetic. On June 13, 1863, The Press newspaper of Christchurch published a missive titled "Darwin among the Machines," which may contain the first published argument for halting technological progress to prevent machines from dominating humanity.
Nvidia's secret weapon: It's the software, stupid
The big picture: Nvidia's Jensen Huang kickstarted CES this year with his keynote. We listened to it and read a fair amount of analysis since. If you don't have 90 minutes to spare, we can sum it up for you: Nvidia has all the software. Or at least it has more than you do.
