    The AI folks don't seem to understand intelligence (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Just three years after OpenAI said its models were good at grade-school math, the company announced they had solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem in 88 hours, something that had stumped humanity’s greatest mathematical minds since the 1930s. Project that trend forward and you see why OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman thinks AI will cure all diseases - and why people are afraid that a rogue AI might harm humanity. Santa Fe Institute scientists Melanie Mitchell and David Kraka

    Trade talks between the U.S. and Canada broke down at the last minute late last month. Apart from the tariffs President Donald Trump announced and which were matched by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America.

    By Gautam Mukunda, Bloomberg Opinion (TNS) On the morning of July 15, a Blue Angels F/A-18 came in over Florida’s Pensacola Beach so low it sent umbrellas and beach chairs tumbling while children covered their ears due to the loud noise.
