Lisa Lucca talks with publisher and writer, Brooke Warner, about writing, community, and how we thrive. Co-owner of AI and Quantum computing company, SavantX, David Ostby helps us walk through a very informative analysis of what AI is and isn't and does and doesn't do. He shares ideas of what is, what may be next, what we know, what we think we know, and what we simply don't know. He defines Artificial Narrow Intelligence - Artificial General Intelligence - Artificial Super Intelligence, how they differ, and where we are today in development and deployment. He talks about the differences between "Foundational" and "Open Source" research and development. The conversation explores the potential influence on jobs, robotics, and who controls the flow of information and misinformation. We touch briefly on optimism, pessimism, realism, and the role of the human spirit in how we think and feel about this technology.
The Economist Interview Harari and Suleyman on AI “Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can have both of my ears If they don’t mind the size.” - John Prine I wasn’t blind yet when I had cornea transplant surgery in my left eye a couple of weeks ago, but I’m told that would have likely been my eventual fate. I was diagnosed with Fuch’s Dystrophy, which impacts a thin layer of cells that pump fluid to the cornea. The loss of those cells causes fluid to build up on the cornea, leading to cloudy vision and, over time, blisters that can break and become infected. |
