Artificial General Intelligence and the Good Future of Humanity
Explore the Dual Dimensions of #artificialintelligence vs #artificialgeneralintelligence #haltagi In this episode, I explore the critical differences between artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial general intelligence (AGI). I examine how companies pushing AGI such as #openai essentially try to create 'digital humans' and I explain the implications of machines evolving to SURPASS human skills and become capable of (simulated) emotions, and some kind of reasoning. I discuss the potent

Cory Doctorow at CF 25: How Enshittification Conquered the 21st Century and How We Can Overthrow It
Enshittification swept through the digital world over the past decade, and it has only accelerated since, as everything—grocery stores, nursing agencies, even public schools—migrated to the Cloud and became digital services. The more digital something is, the more vulnerable it is to enshittification—and when your data is in someone else's Cloud, it's that much easier for the cloud provider to turn the screws on you: locking you in, raising prices, tying services.

Stuart Russell - AI: What if we succeed?
The media are agog with claims that recent advances in AI put artificial general intelligence (AGI) within reach. Is this true? If so, is that a good thing? Alan Turing predicted that AGI would result in the machines taking control. I will argue that Turing was right to express concern but wrong to think that doom is inevitable. Instead, we need to develop a new kind of AI that is provably beneficial to humans. Unfortunately, we are heading in the opposite direction.
