unfair treatment of women working in government and argued that equal
work should command equal pay without regard to the sex of the
laborer. Fast forward 156 years and women still only earn 83 cents for
every dollar that men make, a number that has barely budged over the

The breakfast photo is the ur-text of the narcissistic internet, a bit
of content that no one else is necessarily interested in but which the
poster feels the need, or even the responsibility, to make public for
anyone online to see. Posting a picture of what you ate on a given
morning was something we did during the early years of Twitter and
Instagram, and at the time it felt novel: suddenly, you could share
the most mundane moments of your life with a crowd of waiting
strangers who might just be excited to see them. In a way, the
breakfast photo represented the utopian dream of social media:
billions of average people could throw fragments of their lives onto
the internet with little mediationtheir meals, their pets, their
shower thoughtsand it would turn into something not only engaging but
vital, a dynamic record of reality from the ground level. To post, and
to interact with others posts, was to participate in a grand project
that valorized amateurism, banality, and a sort of content-based
meritocracy: anyone and anything could be interesting, and even go
viral, if only you posted it the right way.

On January 29 a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair with
an American Airlines passenger jet near Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport, killing 67 people. Although air traffic controllers
in the airport tower at the time saw warning signals flash across
their screens at least 20 seconds beforehand and attempted to notify
both aircraft, they weren't able to prevent the accident. Crash
investigations are ongoing, but aviation experts agree that some
degree of human error played a role - maybe in the cockpits, maybe in
the tower. Could this crash, and several other high-profile airplane
accidents since then, have been avoided if artificial intelligence
were running air traffic control (ATC) alongside human controllers?
Researchers are testing systems right now to see how they might
