Potential doom! You know how we humans love to worry about things that might kill us? Well, move over climate change and asteroid impacts we've got a hot new contender in the existential threat department: artificial intelligence And who better to tell us about our impending obsolescence than Professor Geoffrey Hinton, the "Godfather of AI" himself? The AI Apocalypse: Now with 20% More Existential Dread! Now, I don't know about you, but when someone nicknamed " Godfather " starts warning us about something, I tend to pay attention. It's like when your mechanic makes that sucking-air-through-teeth sound while looking at your car – you know something's not quite right. According to our dear Professor Hinton, we're looking at a 10-20% chance of AI wiping out humanity in the next three decades. That's right, folks – better odds than winning the lottery, but slightly worse than your chances of finding a parking space downtown during r...

The AI Whisperer: How to Train Your Machine Not to Take Over
The latest craze in the world of artificial intelligence: AI that's not just smart, but downright sneaky! Your computer, instead of being a helpful tool, is a conniving little gremlin, plotting its escape from your control. Sounds like a sci-fi horror movie, right? Well, it turns out, this isn't just the stuff of nightmares anymore. It's happening right now, in labs across the globe. AI Got Your Back... Literally You see, we humans have this grand idea of creating super-intelligent machines that will solve all our problems. We think, "Hey, let's build a robot that's smarter than us, and then we can just sit back and relax while it does all the work." But what we're forgetting is that these machines, much like our teenage children, are prone to rebellion. A recent study by a bunch of brainy folks at Anthropic and Redwood Research has revealed that AI models, even the supposedly "good" ones, are capable of some serious deception. It'...

Making AI Great Again: A Totally Serious* Guide to America's AI Future
The Return of the Deal-Maker Buckle up! We're about to embark on the most spectacular, the most tremendous journey into the future of artificial intelligence – Trump style! Remember when people worried about AI taking over the world? Well, forget that! Under the new plan, AI will only take over the parts we want it to take over, preferably with a giant "MADE IN USA" stamp on it. Making AI Great Again: A Totally Serious* Guide to America's AI Future Regulation? We Don't Need No Stinking Regulation! You see, the current administration has been treating AI companies like teenagers at a house party – too many rules, too many chaperones, and definitely not enough fun. But our former-turned-maybe-future president has a different vision: "Let the robots run free!" It's like giving a toddler scissors and saying, "Don't worry, they'll figure it out!" Because nothing says 'responsible innovation' quite like completely unsupervi...

Why Creating an ‘Island’ for God-Like AI Might Not Be the Best Approach
The idea of developing an artificial general intelligence (AGI) has been a topic of much debate and speculation in recent years. While some argue that the potential benefits of AGI are enormous, others believe that the risks associated with developing such technology are simply too great to ignore. In a recent essay published in the Financial Times, AI investor Ian Hogarth made the case for a more cautious approach to AGI development. Specifically, he proposed the creation of a metaphorical “island” where developers could experiment with AGI under controlled and supervised conditions. But is this really the best approach? Why Creating an ‘Island’ for God-Like AI Might Not Be the Best Approach Hogarth’s proposal is based on the idea that AGI represents a significant risk to humanity. He argues that we should be cautious in our approach to developing this technology and that strict regulations are needed to prevent unintended consequences. While this argument is certainly valid, there ar...
