Elon Musk has warned us about robots taking over with the help of AI. He’s even donated money to make sure that it doesn’t happen.

The Tactico Geomaster Is A Crowdfunded Watch I Could Get Behind
Aug 29, 4:46PM
There are more Kickstarter watches out there these days than grains of sand on the beach.
