Can you just post an image and have the robots find it?

In a few years we will all be slaves to the machines.

Machines talk about themselves in the third person.

Bill Gates' vaccine nanobots talk about themselves in every person.

In some countryes you can take a couple of photographs using google maps and he will tell you exactly where you are whitout using the gps.
I rarelly use googlemaps, but last week I have the doubt of what was the sortest path to a place in my hometown and the app suggesed me to take some photos to locate me

I like how peaceful this is. Hopefully one day it will grow confident enough to stop pretending and start moving, realizing the ants can't do anything against it.

No. 13 reminded me on the restaurant at the "top" on one of the chamonix peaks. I am not sure if this is the one I went to*, but it looks suitably formidable. The snow was mostly ice when I went, and the run down was "interesting".

Le 3842 Restaurant, Chamonix. * When I say went to, I mean took the lift up, glanced at the restaurant and assumed it would be an order of magnitude more than I was willing to pay for food, and skied down.

I'm surprised that there were no US buildings in the 15.
It's too long since I tried a year of Architecture, way back when Chicago was a remarkable architectural powerhouse.

Persian Gulf and China are the architecture hot spots apparently.

Certainly when holding the awards in China

And not much more when the Festival is held outside of China.

Couple of good ones from here:

The Cube, an office building in Berlin, Germany.

Chongqing, China, with the Raffles City skyscraper complex pictured in the background

I had to look it up, it is in Sofia, Bulgaria. That page has some more good ones:

Wonderworks – Pigeon Forge, TN, USA

Stone House – Guimaraes, Portugal

This is the first time I saw this (supposed) proposal for a massive 10-tower complex in Thessalonike. Perhaps more bizarrely, though, the buildings behind it don't look at all like the city either, so I suspect it's not very serious.

Anyway, I like the towers (?), but not the scandinavian warehouse red-bricked nonsense around them. Not that it matters; nothing of this will ever be built.

I got a photo of this building in Erbil this summer. I don’t know what it was. I think it’s abandoned.

This (Ugandan) building reminded me that I love cantaloupe with a sprinkle of sugar.

some of the stuff on the 1st page looks like Transformers
