I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

The fact that you're missing the intertwined correlation between the two and are using the analogy of a "gold fish and shark" shows that you are absolutely clueless when it comes to AI- development paradigm and will guzzle just about anything Musk hands you. So go and ride Musk's D on your own time and let the experts discuss.

He was making the point that Elon is talking up Artificial General Intelligence when in reality there may still be significant road blocks to achieving that level of advancement. Whereas the AI that he is using in his self driving cars is a real and tangible thing that we still haven't fully figured out the legal ramifications for. I think it's a fair point to bring up that it is not in Elon Musk's best interests to advocate for more government scrutiny and regulations on self driving cars.

When it comes to the flying vehicles, there is a problem I often see. While the guy mentioned quiet travel, they are still very noisy. Now imagine many if them flying around above your head. Something else that I see that could pose an issue is that the blades are often exposed, which is clearly a danger. Yes, people will be careful to begin with, but as they get used to such things, people are often more relaxed and tend to make mistakes or too many risks. The space required to land many of them might also be an issue. There might be some kind of limit on how close you can land one vehicle next to another or perhaps a building which will, of course, increase the space needed. I'm not sure enough things have been considered when it comes to such things that will create more problems than needed.

@user-hh6ex9md4w Oh of course and I'm in no way meaning to put down the vehicle. As an artist/ designer myself, I'm always looking for such things to see where improvements can be made. I feel that there may need to be places set out especially for such vehicles to land and that may take time, especially here in the UK. I can of course see the positive side to their use, not to mention fun, but I do have to also take into consideration their risks and danger points and how it can have an effect on people or the environment.

Why working harder

[@je_suis_onur]

For the editors and/or the speakers in the video, AGI is not the same thing as purpose built automation systems such as self-driving. They don't use the same algorithms (for now anyway). Therefore current iterations of the self-driving systems cannot really do anythjing outside of their parameters. AGI on the otherhand can because that's the whole point for AGI, which is to be as flexible as possible. We're nowhere near AGI yet but with this kind of attention (pun intended) maybe we'll get a breakthrough technology to achieve it. I suspect that an AGI system would constantly need a lot of computing power, not just for the training phase for it to be as flexible, as creative and as self-learning as possible. Hence even if it is invented, it may not be available for public consumption.

[@2CSST2]

Although the specifics of the architectures are the same, both fully AI based self-driving systems and the current biggest LLM models in general are based on the same FUNDAMENTAL architecture: neural networks. So not everyone would agree with what you're declaring as fact. It's really unclear whether or not simply scaling enough a neural network eventually leads to AGI. That's because whatever the neural net is trying to achieve, the most logical way for it to keep making progress, as it's fed more and more parameters and compute power, is to keep building a better and more general model of the world. We already know neural networks are capable for this, those are the emergent capabilities. A bigger neural net to self-drive might very well emerge with having a general model of how the world works: to the level of knowing what humans are, how kids specifically act, understanding weather, physics, planning, etc. I'm rattling but really you either get it or you don't, neurons are atoms of intelligence/modeling, and add up enough of them and you end with AGI, even if some specific architectures do ti quicker than others.

As I reflect on the events forecasted for 2024, they strongly resonate with Walt Rostow's stages of economic growth, especially the shift from "preconditions for take-off" to "drive to maturity." This transition is evident in the introduction of eVTOLs at the Paris Olympics, symbolizing not only a leap in transportation technology but also broader industrial maturation. Similarly, the geopolitical tensions surrounding Taiwan's elections and the strategic expansion of the BRICS group to include new members like Egypt and Saudi Arabia underscore the "drive to maturity" stage. These developments highlight how nations navigate complex economic, technological, and political landscapes to enhance their autonomy and influence, reflecting the intricate dynamics of Rostow’s model in modern contexts.

@kenyoh475 what do these countries have to offer? Weak economies, no military power. They are spread around the world, so maybe bases for Chinese navy? Russia is isolated, China is rapidly becoming so. Once they try to invade Taiwan, China will be in the same boat as Russia. Once AI starts eating into Western white collar jobs, those currently in India will be nearshored, probably under the guise of data protection. That is the end of the Bengal Tiger.

Ai safety is real and important. Saying leaders are using AI risk marketing to mislead the public is disingenuous by the economist.

I live in Northern Indiana and remember when I was a kid having snow in October, now we are lucky to have winter with any snow at all. Global warming is happening so much faster than ANYONE wants to admit. For anyone today that has young kids consider them the last generation survive on the planet. We have 50 years max but realistically its going to be more like 25 because in about 10 years time the amount of warming will have gotten so bad that runaway effect will have increased so much that about 10 or 15 years after that the earth WILL have become unlivable to the point that unless you are living underground you would not be able to survive. With everything that is going on in the world today and the fact that WW3 seems to be right around the corner, I have come to the sobering reality that maybe this particular planet and its species just wasn't meant to make it.

They forgot India's election. When they said 2 important elections, I thought they meant US and India, but they just said Taiwan out of nowhere. Also, much of this has been from a western perspective, which only proves that it is not an international news agency, and rather an EU/Western news agency. The only relevant and interestingly reported story for me was the last one about BRICS. All of the others were just EU this, EU that. Like I hate to break it to you but the EU is not the world. Not to forget no mention or even acknowledgement, whatsoever of the Middle East even considering the Israel-Hamas conflict. All in all, completely out-of-touch report for the most part.

I feel like this would be a bit of a waste of resources. Maybe something more along the lines of someone who can remotely monitor the taxis, and if they detect something is up, the person can take control remotely, and some sort of communication system on board so the passenger can communicate with the person who is monitoring the taxis, because sometimes monitoring systems may not catch something that the passenger can see.
