Elisabeth Moss, a second generation Scientologist,

contradicted her role as a rebel in 'The Handmaid's Tale.'.
At the time, Moss said that comparisons of
the show's ruling class, Gilead, to the Church
of Scientology were unfair and "not true at all.".

Geoffrey Hinton Says AI’s Threat , Is More Urgent Than Climate Change.
The "Godfather of AI" made the statement
in an interview with Reuters on May 5.
I wouldn't like to devalue climate change. I wouldn't like to say,
'You shouldn't worry about climate change.' That's a huge risk too, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.
But I think this might end
up being more urgent, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.
With climate change, it's
very easy to recommend what you should do: you just stop burning carbon. If you do that, eventually things will be okay. , Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.
For this it's not at all clear
what you should do, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.
Hinton recently quit Google after working
at the firm for over a decade so that he could speak about the dangers of artificial intelligence.
Since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT-4,
thousands of experts have signed an open letter demanding a pause in developing AI systems.
Among the signatories was
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. .
While Hinton share similar concerns
as the signatories, he doesn't believe
research should be paused.
It’s utterly unrealistic. I'm in the camp that thinks this is an existential risk, and it’s close enough that we ought to be working very hard right now, and putting a lot of resources into figuring out what we can do about it, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters

6 Tips, for First-Time Investors.
1. Do not put all your
money into one company.
Just because Tesla leads the electric car market
right now, it does not mean it will be this way forever.
2. Avoid paying too much attention
to pundits on television.
Wells Fargo Adviser Scott Pedvis says a big
mistake is taking what others say "as gospel.".
3. Start as early as you can.
The earlier you begin, the more
time investments have to develop.
4. Enroll in a 401k plan
at your job, if possible.
A 401k is an excellent way to store money for when you eventually retire.
5. Do not be afraid
to ask for help.
A lot of investing can be done independently,
but not everything in your life can be do-it-yourself, Scott Pedvis, via 'USA Today'.
6. Put money into your investments on
a predetermined date each month.
It forces you to save, 
and takes the emotion
out of investing, Scott Pedvis, via 'USA Today'

that demand is irrelevant, Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, via Twitter.
