Geoffrey Hinton on the promise, risks of artificial intelligence
They will be able to manipulate people, right? And these will be very good at convincing people ’cause they’ll have learned from all the novels that were ever written, all the books by Machiavelli, all the political connivances, they’ll know all that stuff. They’ll know how to do it.
Geoffrey Hinton
Whether you think artificial intelligence will save the world or end it, you have Geoffrey Hinton to thank. Hinton has been called “the Godfather of AI,” a British computer scientist whose controversial ideas helped make advanced artificial intelligence possible and, so, changed the world. Hinton believes that AI will do enormous good but, tonight, he has a warning. He says that AI systems may be more intelligent than we know and there’s a chance the machines could take over.

5 Ways to Reengage With Life When Feeling Down
Embrace the magic of life, despite its hardships! This article contains 5 great ideas, including one that I unwittingly stumbled upon for myself a couple of decades ago. She also left out 1 way that I feel is worth mentioning: exercise or moving your body.
Exercise is not only beneficial for our physical well-being but also has a profound impact on our mood. Engaging in regular physical activity, whether it’s a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a vigorous workout, releases endorphins in our brain, which are known as “feel-good” hormones. These endorphins help to alleviate stress, reduce anxiety, and boost overall happiness. Moreover, exercise provides a much-needed break from our daily routines and allows us to shift our focus away from negative thoughts, enabling a sense of mental clarity and rejuvenation. So, next time you’re feeling down, remember that a simple workout can be a powerful tool to uplift your spirits and reinvigorate your zest for life.

“To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities—I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not—that one endures.” Source: Endurance – Wikiquote
