Behold, dear humans, the wonderful video and voiceover artistry by the great and powerful @ani7sh and @meena_jain

This video combines quotations from the opening and closing paragraphs from my book, Even God Herself.

I had a great discussion with Vikas Shaw in his interview for Thought Economics. We mulled over panpsychism, consciousness, emergence, the extended mind, AI safety and more.

Sharing this nice interview with Nich Bostrom in the NYT

[Susan Schneider @DrSueSchneider]

In this @bigthink interview with @EricMarkowitz I explain that the real AI risk isn’t one system going rogue — it’s a web of systems colluding in ways we don’t anticipate, and the reshaping of chatbots users’ minds. https://t.co/a7qxkYZfWx

Very proud of the impact of all our work using AI to accelerate science and medicine for the benefit of society.

DIGGER is officially in theaters and I am so honored to have had the opportunity to create this film alongside such talented artists. Thank you to the entire cast and crew for your dedication, hard work, and joy. The experience was truly unforgettable and I’m so proud of what we created.

A couple days ago I had two minutes on CNN to share my two cents.

GODFATHER OF AI ADMITS ILYA WAS RIGHT

geoffrey hinton says ilya sutskever kept insisting the answer was simply to make models bigger, and to him that sounded too easy, real progress needed new ideas

new architectures did help, but he admits the scale of data and computation turned out to matter most

"We had no idea computers would get like a billion times faster. We thought maybe they'd get 100 times faster"

the network that kicked off the deep learning boom, AlexNet, built by hinton, ilya and alex krizhevsky in 2012, trained for five to six days on two nvidia gaming cards

today that same simple idea runs on data centers worth billions

experts are the last to trust a simple answer

When AI-generated content has become so realistic, how do we verify what's made by human, machine, or nature?

We explore the vital role of provenance – and how imperceptible watermarking can safeguard both digital media and biological designs – on our podcast. ↓

Moloch tells the dystopian AI story people aren't taking seriously enough: no rogue AI, no 1984. Just a race to replace humans, and no one willing - or able - to stop.

Would you want to live forever? Merge with AI? Or is the human spirit more important? Interesting meeting of minds in this video of transhumanist Zoltan Istvan @zoltan_istvan & the late infamous cyber expert/programmer/fugitive John McAfee @officialmcafee. https://t.co/NPhaCkSdg4

Prime assembly is a new genome-engineering approach that builds on prime editing to precisely insert large, gene-sized DNA sequences into specific genomic locations, potentially enabling a single, mutation-independent therapy for many patients while reducing off-target effects and working in nondividing cells.

In a world where it’s becoming harder to tell real from fake, how do we find our way? 🌍 The answer: look closer, question, and use critical thinking.

Biosecurity is one of the most urgent challenges for the AI era. Bringing SynthID to biology so AI-generated proteins can be watermarked is a critical step - and we’re open sourcing SynthID Bio tools so the research community can build on this work. Published in @Nature today, congrats to the team! https://t.co/Y4sv8bnGQY
