Geoffrey Hinton Says AI’s Threat Is More Urgent Than Climate Change

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

Trump Poses As Jedi In AI Star Wars Post—But Red Lightsaber Sparks Instant Backlash Online | WATCH

The White House sparked online backlash on May 4th—Star Wars Day after posting an AI-generated image of Donald Trump as a Jedi. But instead of being seen as a heroic figure, Trump’s depiction with a red lightsabre a color reserved for villains in the Star Wars universe led fans and critics to call him a Sith. The symbolic gaffe followed another viral AI image showing Trump as the Pope just days after Pope Francis's death, prompting further outrage. The missteps have reignited debates on AI, politics, and pop culture symbolism in presidential messaging. #TrumpJediFail #StarWarsDay #MayThe4th #RedSabre #SithLordTrump #WhiteHouseAI #TrumpAI #PopeTrump #JediOrSith #AIBacklash #TrumpMemes #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsMeme #USPolitics #TrumpMockery #AIArtFail #PresidentialPR #SocialMediaBuzz #WhiteHouseControversy #PopCulturePolitics Also Read Trump to Slap 100% Tariff on All Films Made Outside the US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-slap-100-tariff-on-all-films-made-outside-the-us-4143503.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Says He Will Reopen Alcatraz Prison :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-he-will-reopen-alcatraz-prison-4143493.html?ref=DMDesc Why Donald Trump's Trade Tariffs Are Threat To Global Food Security :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-donald-trumps-trade-tariffs-are-threat-to-global-food-security-4142083.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

Germany Declares AfD ‘Extremist’; Rubio, Musk SLAMS Move as ‘Tyranny and Assault’ on Democracy

Germany’s intelligence agency has officially labeled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as “extremist,” allowing deep surveillance and communications interception. The AfD, which placed second in Germany’s recent elections, condemned the move as a politically motivated attack on democracy. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk both blasted the decision, calling it authoritarian. The BfV defends its ruling, citing the party’s anti-migrant rhetoric. This explosive development deepens the rift over free speech, nationalism, and immigration in Europe—and sends shockwaves across transatlantic politics. #Germany #AfD #Rubio #ElonMusk #FreeSpeech #Surveillance #Politics #EuropeNews #Democracy #Tyranny #Immigration #Nationalism #MarcoRubio #BfV #BreakingNews #GermanElections #ChancellorMerz #Opposition #CivilRights #AfDUnderWatch

Moldovan Police BLOCK Orthodox Bishop’s Holy Journey to Jerusalem | Religious Freedom CRUSHED?

In a shocking move, Moldovan authorities have blocked Bishop Marchel of the Moldovan Orthodox Church from traveling to Jerusalem for the sacred Holy Fire ceremony, a pivotal moment for Orthodox Christians. Despite having all legal documents in order, Bishop Marchel and his fellow clerics were detained, searched multiple times, and stripped of their passports, missing the flight to Jerusalem. The move has sparked international outrage, with critics calling it politically motivated and a direct attack on religious freedom. The Russian Orthodox Church and lawmakers have condemned Moldova’s actions, while human rights organizations demand accountability.

Trump’s New Iron Dome? Musk's SpaceX to Lead Mega-Missile Defense Project | 1000 Satellites Plan Out [Video]

Trump’s New Iron Dome? Musk's SpaceX to Lead Mega-Missile Defense Project | 1000 Satellites Plan Out

Donald Trump has unveiled a visionary missile defense initiative, dubbed the "Golden Dome," aimed at fortifying the United States' defense against potential missile threats. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, in partnership with Palantir and Anduril, is emerging as a front-runner to take on a key role in this mega-missile defense project. The ambitious plan includes deploying over 1,000 satellites equipped with advanced tracking technology to detect and intercept incoming missiles worldwide. SpaceX has proposed a "subscription service" model for the government to pay for access to the system, bypassing the need for outright ownership, although the proposal has sparked debates over the risks of relying on a private company for defense upgrades and pricing control. #DonaldTrump #ElonMusk #TrumpGoldenDome #GoldenDomeMissile #TrumpMissileDefense #GoldenDomeUSA #GoldenDomeDefense #TrumpDefensePlan #USGoldenDome #GoldenDomeSystem #TrumpSpaceX #GoldenDomeProject #AmericaDefense #GoldenDomeForAmerica #TrumpDefenseInitiative #USMissileDefense #GoldenDomeVsIronDome Also Read China Brushes Off US Tariff Threats, Warns Against 'Numbers Game' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-brushes-off-us-tariff-threats-warns-against-numbers-game-4126079.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Freezes USD 2.2 Billion In Grants To Harvard University :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-freezes-usd-2-2-billion-in-grants-to-harvard-university-4124075.html?ref=DMDesc US Teen Nikita Casap Accused Of Killing Parents To Fund Plot To Assassinate Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-teen-nikita-casap-accused-of-killing-parents-to-fund-plot-to-assassinate-donald-trump-4123199.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~GR.124~HT.410~
