Take a look at this engaging (and disturbing) passage about the future of technology; specifically, the future of artificial intelligence and automated work: First let us postulate that the computer scientists succeed in developing intelligent machines that can do all things better than human beings can do them. In that case presumably all work [...]
UC Berkeley hosts its fair share of guest speakers, each one as much of a treat as the next. Last Thursday night, our campus welcomed Republican presidential candidate, Ron Paul. Dr. Paul has made a bid for the presidential election before, most recently in 2008, and he continues to campaign vigorously this primary season. Berkeley [...]
The time for giant chocolate bunnies, Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, Peeps, and jelly beans has come. Whether you’re a fan of Easter or not, we could all use an excuse to stuff ourselves with candy. As a child I would eagerly anticipate the Easter Bunny’s arrival. Wondering how he travels to and enters each [...]
Walking down Sproul nowadays, I’m sure many of you have noticed the multitude of new signs and interesting gimmicks. Students walk around in front of Sproul Hall and Golden Bear Café holding signs with the blown-up faces of Senate or Executive candidates for the 2012-2013 positions for the Associated Students of the University of California [...]
Get to know the candidates behind the flyers, signs, chalk scribbles, and announcements.

At first, I was mildly annoyed by the people gathered around various areas of campus, blocking my path to class. And, after sometime, I realized that instead of these [...]
Nothing says, “Welcome back from spring break!” quite like democracy! Whether you’re casting your vote for Patrick Star, running for ASUC President, or somewhere in between, there’s a reason for everyone to love the upcoming ASUC elections. Rock the vote, Bears! 1. You have something to look at while you walk. For those of [...]
Most students who live in apartments and cook for themselves know the goodness that is Berkeley Bowl – cheapness (compared to Safeway and Andronico’s), convenience (if you live on south side or an 18 bus stop), and uniqueness (you’ll find a lot of harder-to-find locally grown and organic foods there, plus stranger people…it earns the [...]
For many people at Berkeley, Spring Break is a time to forget about the stresses of Berkeley life by going home and seeing family and old friends.
