Eccentric Ohio writer Edward Pritchard was incinerated by the over head drones last night. Initially called an accident, in an event eerily similar to the 2016 Detroit riots drones have again killed an unarmed American civilian. Pritchard was a frequent critic of drones and artificial intelligence in his writing.

In memory of one of our own Mother Earth News remembers a few of Pritchard's observations and predictions about Artificial intelligence units:

July 2012- first to predict majority Wall Street bond and stock traders would be smart computers. [occurred November 2014, working full time traders NYC 59% smart machines per Wall Street Journal survey ]

August 2012- first to predict majority of American teachers would be artificial intelligence units [ 51% of all American students studied on line with monitoring by smart computers occurred on May 09, 2017. New York Teachers Union Journal June, 2017 pg 22]

June 05, 2014
First to predict that Western military interests would use thinking drones to close the Straight of Hormuz [occurred September 21, 2014]

And on one sad note, Pritchard had lowest ratio of record; stories published [ blog] to earnings from writings in on line age .

On another sad related note authorities officially admitted that the drone that misfired and killed Pritchard was a military drone, making the death officially military non combatant and qualifying the family for compensation under the 2015 Jerusalem accord.
