[…]
When a respected AI safety researcher asserts there’s a 99.9% chance that superintelligent AI will eradicate humanity within a century, people take notice. Roman Yampolskiy, a computer scientist and author recognized for his views on the challenges of AI control, shared that estimate during a 2024 interview that quickly gained traction. This figure resonated like […]
The simulation hypothesis continues to fascinate, especially when viral videos claim everyday tech like a DeWalt laser can “crack reality.” The buzz arises from YouTube clips and forum posts where users shine lasers through smoke or mist, fixating on cryptic grid patterns, “codes,” or glitches. For the gullible, it’s proof we live in a cosmic […]
