If you’ve been missing Joey Bada$$ in your ears, it’s because he’s been *acting* lately. But after Creed, Mr. Robot, and Work It, he’s back in the rap game, and in advance of releasing an album, he’s making sure we know how great he’s doing. “Success is the best revenge,” is the line on this single. We love that for him, especially if it means he’s giving us the soul-shaking bass line we all need.

I’d like us all to please internalize the phrase, “John Deere As A Service.” This month, the tractors-and-stuff company announced it’s offering autonomous vehicles, which feels like… the most expected move ever in the trajectory of farm technology. Like, GEE, what if we could replace these horses pulling the plow? Nonetheless, the world of agriculture is embroiled in debate. “The automation, and control of the resulting data, raises questions about the role of human farmers,” reads a Wired subhead. And, sure, data ownership is a problem: if John Deere suddenly has all the info about everybody’s soil, that creates a dependency and potentially skews the competitive environment in their favor. But 1. farmers can actually opt out of data sharing, which has been wildly successful at Apple, and 2. every innovation in the history of labor-saving feels like a threat to humans when it comes out. In the case of the tractor, it gathers data on the soil to provide “insights” on how to work the land — which kind of seems like it leaves the human farmer to make informed decisions, right? Funny how that works.

Needless to say, the tractor was not the only autonomous robot at this year’s CES, the big early-Jan consumer electronics show in Vegas that I’ve somehow avoided trolling until now. One of my favorite developments from this year’s conference (besides this sly image — HAUNTING) is the Labrador Retriever, a side table that can follow you around carrying stuff, answer commands through Alexa, and use little robot arms to slide you food from a built-in fridge. At $1,500, plus a $99-a-month software subscription to make the thing actually work, this concept sounds absolutely ridiculous, doesn’t it, until you realize it’s meant mostly for injured, disabled and elderly people who can’t accomplish those tasks without help. (The retriever metaphor is still a little on the nose.) Mostly just surfacing this as a reminder of how much your (my) tune changes when you understand who things are really for (not always just you!).
