Honestly this would be badass and we could use the entertainment 🤣
Looks like a great binge watch

Lol
Nathan Fielder recounts how accidentally taking someone else’s suitcase led to him being pulled over by the police with a suspicious bag of white powder in the borrowed suit, only for the owner to reveal it was his mother’s ashes. 😭💀
Nathan Fielder’s attempt to explain himself only made the situation more suspicious.
After accidentally taking someone else’s suitcase, he was pulled over wearing the borrowed oversized suit, with a bag of white powder sitting beside him.
His attempt to ease the tension with a Fashion Police joke failed, and telling the officer “it’s not mine” only made things worse.
Always fascinating. I hope someday Michael wins the nobel sciemce prize!
“One of the worst things that slows down progress is the concept of 'emergence.'”
This week on 632nm, @drmichaellevin (@TuftsUniversity) argues that the concept of emergence can hold science back by treating unexpected biological behavior as an explanation rather than something to investigate.
“Emergence just means surprise... You didn’t see it coming.”
If we call something “emergent,” we still need to explain why this behavior emerged instead of another. The goal should be to understand the underlying patterns well enough to predict and control them.
We discuss how this perspective could reshape biology, our understanding of intelligence, and AI.

Yup, What he said!
Demis Hassabis: AI could become self-aware, even if that isn’t the goal.
“I don’t think any of today’s systems feel self-aware or conscious in any way.”
“Not explicitly, but it may happen implicitly.”
“These systems might acquire some feeling of self-awareness.”
“They don’t have curiosity. They’re probably lacking imagination and intuition.”
“But in the next five to 10 years, I think we’ll have systems capable of not only solving an important problem in science, but coming up with it in the first place.”
I like this guy, lol.

David's life advice on living the good life comes from a passage in Popper's autobiography: the thing to do in life, is to find a problem, fall in love with it, get married to it, live with it for the rest of your life until death do you part. And, if you are unlucky enough to solve it, there will be delightful problem children.

One of the deepest threats to AI alignment is our lack of competence within our government.
Respect 🙏
Not about choosing sides, just choosing to make music with my old friend. Praying for all of us. #HealMyFaith @KidRock distrokid.com/hyperfollow/ki…
Pretty cool what Elon is bringing back!!
This technology is not new. A race car used it during 1970, it was banned though. It's a fan system that provides the grip. Very cool we get to see this again. My dad raced stock cars when I was a small child, surprised I never heard him talk about this.
