Artificial Intelligence October 15, 2025 [I’m taking the day off, so letting Jon Stewart, Rex Woodbury, and Andrew Yang do all the work. Well, and Geoffrey Hinton.] Kris M: “John Stewart’s podcast — AI: What Could Go Wrong? with Geoffrey Hinton — is a must-listen for anyone interested in the potential of AI. For the first 50 minutes or so, Professor Hinton explains how AI works and how we got to where we are now. That may be too rudimentary for some; it was absolutely essential for me. Then, he and John Stewart talk about possible future developments. AI is likely to be a major factor, beginning as soon as the 2026 mid-terms. If there’s a way we can make every Senator and Representative listen to this (and pass a quiz administered by Professor Hinton), we should do it. Right now, the decisions coming out of D.C. regarding regulation are being made in ignorance driven by greed.” Related: Rex Woodbury: How to Productize AI Anxiety.
