Are humans fundamentally more special than AI? The answer isn’t clear yet.
Consider what I’ll call the Einstein “Turing Test”:
If we gave an AI access to the knowledge that Einstein had in 1905, when he made the intellectual leap to relativity, would the AI also make that leap?

Building an Australian Nuclear power plant is like building a desalination plant in a rainforest. Somewhat pointless and expensive. #SayNoToNuclear

Farmers displaced and farmlands seized as Iran’s government intensifies Baha’i religious persecution

Our full story: https://t.co/rzFbDbuFFv

Farmlands, rice paddies and walnut orchards belonging to Baha’i families in the village of Ahmadabad, a lush and fertile agricultural community in Mazandaran province, were forcibly seized this week by Iranian officials who claimed the lands on behalf of the Iranian government. The raid is the latest incident in a rising pattern of persecution against the Baha’is across Iran—and the third recent example of religiously-motivated property seizures against Baha’i farmers in Mazandaran province.

At #CESCR review of #Qatar, @SERNON raised the discrimination Baha'is are facing: deportation, blacklisting, loss of employment, denial of certificates of good conduct, solely because of their religious beliefs. This affects the individuals but also family reunification.
