So, the dreaded A.I. scam (An Indian) strikes again. The RoboMaid is controlled by a dude in a VR headset at some office. For some, more arousing. For most, drastically less.

"Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell drew a stark picture of a labor market that looks fine on the surface—4.3% unemployment, solid consumer spending—but is quietly losing momentum underneath.
