No, no… you’re with me. It’s fine.
…okay, I trust you.
“So you’re an Asgardian light-weight?” she asked with amusement. Natasha could drink a good amount but she didn’t think she could outlast any Asgardian, light weight or no. She unlocked the car for Eydis and came around to the driver’s seat.
Eydis sat on the car, a playful grin in her features. “I like the way you put that into terms… I think ‘Asgardian light-weight’ is right. Which might be a bit more than the usual human? I don’t know, I’m willing to test it if you are…” the goddess laughed, hooking her seat belt.
… Nothing.
Except it’s lighted and goes underwater and I’m taking you through it right now.
*inhales sharply* …mm. *a little triggered* I’m not sure I like that…
Dear America,
You might have Hollywood, but Jesus is Portuguese.
MIT’s robotic wunderkind
By SIMON C. CLOWES
Tony Stark poses with the prize winning robot in his father’s workshop at Stark Industries [With a picture above, in which he is with a robot that appears to be DUM-E or U.]
[1st column]
In a dark corner of the Advanced Robotics Laboratory in the basement of Homberg, wunderkind Tony Stark has been quietly doing groundbreaking work in the field of Advanced Robotics. Although he is only 16, The MIT junior is doing work that is leaving seasoned professors scratching their heads. Stark, going off of a radically simple theorem that artificial intelligence can be imbibed with personality through alternative programming, is currently putting the finishing touches on two robotic prototypes that he believes will listen to him and learn from his behaviors. Stark, the son of pioneering weapons designer Howard Stark, comes of a family of big ideas. During WWII, Howard Stark worked closely with a team of engineers to help deliver the atom bomb, despite cries that it was an impossible feat.Tony Stark is no stranger to science. He has been building circuit boards and getting his hand dirty since the tender age of four. Tony Stark, currently attending MIT, has been getting a lot of attention lately for his creation.
“It’s a lot of fun to create something new,” says Stark. This month He has won the fourth annual MIT Robot Design Award. “I really wanted to win this one. So I did,” says Stark.
Tony Stark built his first engine at the age of six. He thinks about new ways to change everyday life. His father, Howard Stark, is the president and founder of Stark Industries. Stark Industries is a weapons developer for the United States military. We also got a chance to speak with Howard Stark about his child prodigy. “I’ve always known Tony was a bright lad. Ever since he was young, he’s always been curious about the insides of things; wanting to know how things work.”
As a child, Tony spent long hours out in the garage with piles of old electronics and scrap metal, coming on with new waves of…
[2nd column]
Tony’s ability to understand electronics and engineering reaches far beyond his years and it was this ability that initially caught the attention of MIT. Perhaps it should come as no surprise considering the achievements of his father, Howard Stark, who is largely responsible for turning America’s military into the most powerful military in the world. Perhaps the jump from robots to fighter jets will not be such a big one for Tony. He has already gone such a long way towards filling his father’s footsteps.This year will mark the fourth consecutive year in the row that Tony has won the MIT Robot Design Award, and each year his creations have become more complex, more intelligent, more sophisticated, and more surprising. Tony’s new ideas about artificial intelligence and the idea that his robots can develop personalities have generated a lot of controversy. [This last word is so vague I can’t be sure.]
[3rd column]
…that might lead to a wide array of unforeseeable problems.But Tony has taken all this criticism in stride, letting neither his work nor his age get in the way of his vision. He has always been quick to defend his creations, never willing to compromise his ideas or his ideals for the products of his imagination.
This single-minded determination is another quality that makes him stand out from the crowd. It is a quality rarely found among adults, let alone in someone so young. But whether you are a critic or a skeptic or a fan, no one can say that Tony’s accomplishments have not been remarkable. The robot he has produced this year will certainly be the envy of kids and adults as well as scientists around the world. We are proud to have him representing MIT.
What may come next to Tony is less certain, however. Whether he will follow in his father’s footsteps or find a different path to pursue, no one but Tony can know at this point. What we can be sure of is that whatever direction he chooses to focus his energy and his talent, we can expect to see great…
