Must watch: AI discussion w/ @sama and @patrickc Forget the congressional stuff, this is a high-level discussion. At 15m, SamA: ".. only takes about 6 months to take a smart physics researcher and make them into a productive AI researcher" 🤔

Geoff Hinton makes some similar points in this excellent interview. If you already know something about the topic (eg backprop), can skip to ~10m for details as to why recent LLM advances made him very worried about AGI. Possible End of Humanity from AI?

Great documentary. Low-margin crisis for Carrefour and other European retailers. AMZN Fresh looks super high tech until they show you what [link] is doing in PRC. Don't miss the hydroponics and chip-injected pig farming!

This article includes some really great covers of old PKD SciFi paperbacks!

Despite the mistake about miltech (understandable, since it's part of US propaganda justifying the chip war), the WIRED article by @page88 is a good read. Pro tip: in PRC they believe, with justification, that anything TW, JP, or Koreans can do, they can do better.
