Yikes

April 17, 2023April 17, 2023

In case you missed “60 Minutes” last night, Artificial Intelligence is exploding.

Some of it is amusing.  Watch robots teach themselves to play soccer.

Some of it is fantastic.  What would have taken a billion PhD-years to do, mapping out all 200 million proteins, will apparently take A.I. only . . . oh wait, it’s already finished.

Much of it is hopeful.  Disease could soon be a thing of the past; climate change reversed.  (That’s me talking, not “60 Minutes.”)

And all of it is scary.



Have a great week.



[Friday I mistakenly attributed to liberal Chief Justice Earl Warren the famous Second Amendment words actually spoken by his successor, conservative Chief Justice Warren Burger.  Sorry!]

[George Santos is still in Congress.  How is it possible?  The Once-Grand Old Party gone mad.]

Quote of the Day

"If I am proved correct, the Germans will call me a German, the Swiss will call me a Swiss citizen, and the French will call me a great scientist. If relativity is proved wrong, the French will call me a Swiss, the Swiss will call me a German, And the Germans will call me a Jew."

Albert Einstein on his then-infant Theory of Relativity, 1921
