• A 'Robots' road sign in Lexington is apparently connected to a bizarre imagined future Massachusetts (boston.com) — A whimsical "Robots Right Lane Only" sign has mysteriously appeared along Lexington's Minuteman Bikeway, amusing local officials enough that they've decided to leave it up as a safety reminder to keep right. The sign links to an elaborate fictional "Lexford Department of Robotic Affairs" website imagining a robot-dependent Massachusetts in 2075, sparking broader questions about AI, ethics, and our future reliance on automation.
