    He tried to buy the NFL's Buffalo Bills pro football team back about 2014. He was in the pool of 6 final bidders the NFL chose and was asked to submit financial records to show he could either buy the team or could raise funds for it with solid collateral backing, but instead he submitted a letter with a copy of a Fortune Magazine article listing him as one of the wealthier people in the United States.

      @@marshalbaek5580 Do you really think there is much of a middle ground with open fascists? People either think he's the bee's knees, or they they see him for what he is, a buffoon. The NFL is very much all about the money, so when he was just another horse's ass that inherited some money I'm not surprised they didn't take him at his (worthless) word. Still, I bet they'd bend over backwards to help trump buy a team now if they thought it'd get him elected, trump's whole platform is screwing over the poor and helping the rich. The rich aren't especially bright, but they understand that a 'politician' like trump is an investment, if he actually wins they win big, and if he loses they lost money they literally will never miss.

    1:44 - "Artificial General Intelligence-the latest version of AI." This is not correct. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is the objective of machine learning, where an AI system can make critical decisions absolutely on its own, often better than a human. A lot of people thought GPT-3 had glimmers of AGI, but now we know its purpose is simply to generate believable sounding text based on its training data.
    I think what she means to say is Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) which provides training data (images or text) to machine learning algorithms. This can be things like DALL-E or Midjourney for images, Sora for video, and ChatGPT for text.
    Just think it's important in these segments that we start to introduce the proper terminology to educate the public.

    • @marshalbaek5580
      @marshalbaek5580 9 месяцев назад +3

      @@ballman2010 I found Israeli philisopher Yuval Noah Harari's AI commentary from his current press-run to be even more egregious. He was on Meyers last week and later Colbert, making Machine Learning to be some kind of bogeyman "digital consciousness that makes decisions that can harm humans." Sort of the "scary AI will control humanity" conversations your dad drones on about.
      Stephen Colbert called him out on it, saying all the datasets provided to ML models are made by humans, therefore the AI can only predict, create, or find patterns within the human dataset; NOT create entirely original ideas.
      Harari pushes back by saying algorithms like the Stockfish equivalent for Go play the game unlike any human player. But I feel this comparison is not evidence that refutes Colbert, and actually relies on older machine learning systems versus the GANs and deep learning systems we're obsessed with as a society today.
      I will be impressed when we find a communicator who can adequately convey these concepts in an exciting way! That person will truly inspire a generation of kids to get into the field, the way Carl Sagan did for astronomy.

    I gagged at Kara's answer to Seth's question about A.I. which led with "cars" as in "self-driving cars." As a transportation system planner, I consider "driverless" car tech a "fraudulent ruse" meant to distract attention from actual solutions to insane traffic. The compromise position on Autonomous Vehicle AV tech is "driver assist" ie, emergency braking, inadvertent lane changes, etc. AV could recognize posted speed limits, ie, one can drive slower than the posted speed limit, but not faster, nor too fast through busy intersections.

      I want city streets divvy'ed up into E-W routes and N-S routes; then every third or fourth street, have them be only bicycle, motorcycle and bus routes except cars allowed at low speeds for the people who live on those streets. If some streets were made safer for bikes, more people would use bike commuting. It would be as fast or faster than car traffic and as time went on, more people would adapt to bike/motorbike or bus commuting. (We need more cars like the Twike, a pedal/electric hybrid). If bikes don't have to compete on car roads, bikers would be far safer.
