Demis Hassabis' new podcast with Lex Fridman just went viral.

He exposed mind-blowing truths about AI & what's really coming by 2030 that 99% of people wouldn't know.

It took me a day to digest it all...

Here are my top 9 takeaways: 🧵

@NikonUSA I'm going to amboseli park in Kenya. And I do have a D850 but, if I had a Z50 I would've been able to take some videos. Because elephants are best on video

For me this is the greatest song ever written in English. The narrative arc. The beautiful way this story unravels. Tracy's delivery.

Love that the world is still in thrall of this exceptional piece of art in 2024.

Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel is an atrocity that has justifiably been compared to 9-11. By deliberately targeting and rounding up civilians for rape, kidnapping and murder, including at a music festival (where there is no conceivable military target), Hamas has put itself in the Al Qaeda category. Israel is within its rights to dismantle and destroy the organization.

That said, one of the purposes of a terrorist outrage is to provoke an escalatory response that ultimately backfires. After 9-11, the U.S. plunged into two decades of wars in the Middle East that cost untold blood and treasure, unleashed staggering murder and mayhem, changed the geopolitical map in unfavorable ways for the U.S., and squandered the sympathy of the world. Bin Laden must be smiling in Hell.

Now many of the same U.S. figures who miscalculated so badly after 9-11 are screeching for Israel to “finish them” or braying for a larger war with Iran. This is exactly the wrong advice. Our leaders should be encouraging a cool-headed response that finds the right balance between achieving a just and legitimate military objective, minimizing civilian casualties, and avoiding the risk of a wider war. Let us hope and pray that the Israeli government finds that balance.
