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'

Tesla Announces Price Drop , Ahead of Q1 Earnings Report.
ABC reports that Tesla has announced its fourth price cut
in the United States this year, lowering the starting
costs of the company's two top-selling models.

the Model Y small SUV,

The company's Model 3 small
sedan also saw its price drop
about 5%, equal to $2,000.

government's $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit.
A Model 3 loaded with options would exceed
the government's $55,000 price limit required
to be eligible for the tax credit.
After experiencing a major dip in 2022,
Tesla stock has bounced back in 2023,
rising 50% since the year began.

that demand is irrelevant, Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, via Twitter.
ABC reports that Tesla's first-quarter sales
increased by 36%, fueled by previous price cuts,
but still came in under analysts' expectations.

a quarterly record of 422,875 vehicles worldwide,

Elon Musk Paints Over the ‘W’ , on Twitter Headquarters Sign.
Gizmodo reports that a few
days ago, a white tarp was
seen covering up the "w" on
Twitter's headquarters sign
so that it read "Titter.".
According to Musk, the building
landlord took issue with the adjustment.
Musk took to Twitter on April 9 to
reveal that he'd found a workaround.
Musk then took the joke one step further.
Gizmodo reports that last year, Musk
polled his followers to ask if he should
remove the "w" in Twitter permanently.
However, angering the landlord, SRI Nine Market Square LLC, might not be the best move right now, considering the company sued Twitter for unpaid rent in January.
Gizmodo reports that Twitter has become infamous for not paying its bills since Musk took over the company last October
