Big news for the pursuit of artificial general intelligence — or AI that’s of human-level intelligence across the board. OpenAI, which describes its mission as “ensuring that AGI benefits all of humanity,” finalized its long-in-the-works corporate restructuring plan yesterday.

In other words, if I’m annoyed, inconvenienced, or even slightly put out, you’ll know. Take, for instance, a recent flight that devolved into a delay, a diversion, a missed […] Read more ›

The White House’s East Wing is gone. With its demise, President Donald Trump continues to rewrite history, including the traditions of how a US president can take a bulldozer to the “people’s house.” For Trump, the East Wing had to be demolished to make way for a 90,000-square foot ballroom to host foreign dignitaries and […] Read more ›

Scientists who study wildlife are often the bearers of bad news — this species or that is headed for extinction for the usual reasons, like deforestation or climate change.
