As much as we would like to see a slowing down in the development of Superhuman AI before it destroys us all, I do not think the AI labs will slow down development any time soon. If the US unilaterally do so, China will catch up, overtake and win.

It is a two-horse race and for any arrangements on slowing it down to be successful, both the US and China must agree on the terms. Making this happen is the only hope for humanity now.

Correct answers are A, B and D.

Viruses, fungi and bacteria. These are the pathogens, the actual causative agents of infection.

Cuts and kisses don't cause infection themselves. They are routes of entry or transmission. A cut only leads to infection if microorganisms get into it, and a kiss only transmits infection if one person is carrying a pathogen.

Aki’s wife says Aki and Pawpaw used to live together, and when they got married and decided to separate, they shared everything equally — even the cutleries 😂😂

What is the one reason why some people eat late at night?

[First Doctor @FirstDoctor]

Man to man: Do a lot of difficult, painful, meaningful things for a while. That is how you get financially free and fall in love with your life. Not by gambling. Not by fraud.

You may have seen the sign "NO MSG". In 1968, a doctor felt shaky after eating a Chinese meal, guessed MSG or monosodium glutamate was the cause, wrote a letter, and a journal printed it "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome". No study. No test. But that hunch led to 50 years of MSG fear.

The twist is that MSG has about a third of the sodium of table salt. Swab some salt for MSG and your food tastes better with less sodium. But we spent 50 years fearing an amino acid found in breast milk while salt quietly raised the world's blood pressure. Fear the right things.

[First Doctor @FirstDoctor]

Researchers fed MSG to people certain it caused thier symptoms without telling them which meal had it. The symptoms mostly varnished. But people reacted to the MSG they already knew about, more of a mere expectation than anything to do with the fact that MSG was a poison.
