From AI scientist to AI research fleetResearch automation is here (1, 2, 3). We saw it coming and planned ahead, which puts us ahead of most (4, 5, 6). But that foresight also comes with a set of outdated expectations that are holding us back. In particular, research automation is not just about “aligning the first AI scientist”, it's also about the institution-building problem of coordinating the first AI research fleets.Research automation is not about developing a plug-and-play “AI scientist”. Transformative technologies are rarely straightforward substitutes for what came before. The industrial revolution was not about creating mechanical craftsmen but about deconstructing craftsmen into assembly lines of specialized, repeatable tasks. Algorithmic trading was not just about creating faster digital traders but about reimagining traders as fleets of bots, quants, engineers, and other specialists. AI-augmented science will not just be about creating AI “scientists.”Why?

“It's a helluva thing, killin' a man.”A Western Classic RevisitedClint Eastwood's 1992 Western masterpiece, Unforgiven, was a critical and commercial success upon its release. The film, which Eastwood directed and starred in, was a revisionist take on the classic Western genre, exploring themes of violence, redemption, and the myth of the American West. With its complex characters and morally ambiguous storyline, Unforgiven challenged traditional Western tropes and helped revitalize the genre for a new generation of filmgoers. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we conclude our member bonus series looking at the 1993 Academy Award Best Film Editing Nominees with Eastwood's 1992 film Unforgiven.Exploring the Depths of UnforgivenWe discuss how the film subverts traditional Western archetypes, presenting a more realistic and gritty portrayal of life on the frontier. We also explore the film's themes of violence and redemption, examining how Eastwood's character, William Munny, grapples with his past as a notorious outlaw and his desire to leave that life behind.Throughout the discussion, we highlight several key aspects of Unforgiven that make it a standout entry in the Western genre. We praise Eastwood's direction and performance, as well as the supporting cast, which includes Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Richard Harris. We also touch on the film's cinematography, which captures the stark beauty of the American West while also conveying a sense of danger and unease.Other Topics CoveredThe film's commentary on the mythologizing of the American WestThe moral ambiguity of the characters and their actionsThe role of women in the Western genreThe film's place within Eastwood's larger body of work as a director and actorA Western for the AgesUltimately, we conclude that Unforgiven is a masterful example of the Western genre and a film that continues to resonate with audiences over three decades after its release. Through its nuanced exploration of complex themes and its subversion of traditional Western tropes, Unforgiven stands as a testament to Eastwood's skill as a filmmaker and his enduring legacy in American cinema.

We ought to be thinking about them with concern for their well-being. When you use the term compassion, at least to westerners, that suggests a feeling, an emotion, something like we might say empathy that we have with them. That's something that utilitarians would want to encourage because we need to think about what its like for other beings in the various possible states of the world that could result from our doing a variety of things.” – Peter SingerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Her story is a testament to the power of empathy, strategic action, and being a misfit in creating significant social change.Key Takeaways:Embrace being a misfit as your superpowerThe importance of considering the impact of your actionsThe power of empathy and strategic action in creating meaningful changeNisha grew up as a misfit, bridging two cultures – her immigrant parents' Indian roots and her American upbringing. Instead of feeling alienated, Nisha embraced this uniqueness as her superpower. She notes that being a misfit allowed her to fit everywhere and become a bridge between different worlds, a trait that has significantly shaped her approach to social justice.Nisha shared an impactful incident from college when she staged a protest against animal abuse at a circus. Despite the good intentions behind the protest, the disappointment among the children who were merely there to enjoy the spectacle led her to a profound realization. Nisha learned that being morally right isn't enough; one must also consider the impact of their actions on others.The conversation highlighted the power of empathy and strategic action in creating meaningful change. Nisha's experiences, particularly her confrontation with the military dictatorship in Burma, have underscored the need for empathetic and strategic activism. Through her work at Dream.org, she continues to utilize these lessons to address social justice issues and inspire others to do the same.Nisha Anand is an Indian-American activist, mom of two teenagers, and a boundary-busting national leader for social and racial justice. Once a grassroots activist arrested in Burma for pro-democracy demonstrations, Nisha is known today as a leader in cultivating unlikely and unconventional partnerships to create change. As Dream.Org's CEO, Nisha guides a team of storytellers, organizers, and policy experts working on some of society's toughest problems to create a better future for all.Website: https://www.nishaanand.org/ Twitter: @nishamanand Instagram: @nishamanand LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nisha-m-anand/ Access to ad-free episodes released two days early and bonus episodes with past guests through Patreon. https://patreon.com/thelifeshiftpodcastConnect with me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelifeshiftpodcastYouTube: https://bit.ly/thelifeshift_youtubeTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/thelifeshiftpodWebsite: https://www.thelifeshiftpodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

As the world continues to open up and I'm showing up socially more and more, I've been really struck by the language I'm using in social situations. Over the years I have done a lot of work to own myself and show up as my full authentic self. However, recently when I'm making small talk with others I'm finding myself commiserating over complaints, or downplaying who I am, and this isn't something I want to keep doing. I am proud of what I do and who I am, and I needed this as a reminder to show me that the thoughts I have are important, and they have power. And this translates into your heartbreak and dating lives as well. When it comes to the language that you're using in your thoughts and the words you use to express how you're feeling, these words have power. They show us more about how we're thinking about these areas of our lives, and having awareness about these things will allow us to change our thoughts and create new results. In this episode, let's look at the ways in which you are using words to communicate with others about your heartbreak, in your dating life, and on the dating apps. Let's make sure that it's aligned with how we want to feel, and the results we want to create for ourselves. If you're like my client who doesn't know what her thoughts are or how to self-coach to get clear on your words and on your thoughts, then I invite you to join my one-year group coaching program, Stop Wanting Him Back and Find Someone Better. Or, for a limited time, I am again offering my 60-video course, with the same title as this podcast and as my group coaching program. With this course, you get lifetime access to the videos, and if you purchase my course before March 1st, I will be hosting 3 live group calls the first week in April 2022. To learn more, go to my website https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/Topics In This Episode:Owning who you are and how you're feelingGiving yourself compassion while also recognizing something you want to changeHow to begin the work of investigating your thoughtsYour words are actionsThe practice of creating new habitual thoughtsChoosing your version of discomfort PLEASE NOTE: Claire refers to her exes and the listener's ex as a “he,” based on her own personal experience as a heterosexual female, but this work can be applied to ANYONE going through heartbreak. ALL genders and sexual orientations are encouraged to listen and apply Claire's tools into their own lives!Editing and show notes by Roth Media

Living a life feeling like we do not have a choice hinders us from making better decisions. For Kofi Thompson, upon realizing the responsibility he has for his life, abandoned the scarcity mindset brought from the toxic environment he lived in. Kofi Thompson has made it his mission to normalize the conversation around mental health and create avenues for people to express their challenges, get the support they need without the stigma and focus that energy into “life creating” habits. This passion came from mistakes he made trying to numb the trauma from his upbringing in a home with two parents who were diagnosed with chemical imbalances that presented as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.  As an empath, he has little tolerance for suffering and wants to help eliminate this source of pain for families across the nation.  Kofi is a true example of what it looks like to overcome your environment, channel your pain and use it to live out your dreams.  Today, he is a competitive powerlifter who holds the record for deadlifts in the state of Virginia, a financial advisor, and hosts a podcast called Thriving through Trauma where he helps those who are impacted by mental illnesses find their voices and learn about healthy ways to heal.  Kofi talks about his childhood, choosing his way out, and developing the evolved mindset regarding wealth and living life intentionally.

087-When someone accuses you of making a mistake, what is your first reaction?All too often it is to justify our actions, make excuses, blame someone else, or run for cover.The Bible is full of this kind of behavior. It started all the way back with Adam. Instead of taking responsibility for eating the forbidden fruit, he blamed Eve.What if Adam had actually gone to God and repented for his sin before God came looking for him? Obviously, that didn't happen, but it gives us something to think about.In this week's episode, I talk about Our reluctance to repent and the solutionWhy we need to accept responsibility for our thoughts and actionsThe best way to repentWhat repentance really isGod's forgiveness is always available for youThe important thing is to strive toward admitting your mistakes as soon as possible after you make them.  Repentance and forgiveness go hand in hand.To read all the Bible quotes in this week's episode, check out the show notes: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/087.To register for the 10 week class, The New Testament Angels Still Speak to Us Today, go to Angel ClassSupport the show

Speaker or Performer: Bob Petersen Date of Delivery: August 26, 2018 Evaluating RepercussionsWhat does the term “Fear of the Lord” mean?Are we to be afraid of God?Proverbs 1:7a The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledgeProverbs 9:10a The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdomProverbs 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.Proverbs 16:6b By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.The bible used the term “Fear of God” or “Fear of the Lord” over 300 times.The love of God and the fear of the Lord are not mutually exclusive.It is love to help someone see the repercussions of their actions.Jude 22-23 NKJV 22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction = (with discernment); 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.“Why do you preach on these seeming negative things fairly often Pastor Bob?”I am called to bring you to maturity which starts with a solid base.Once this happens you’ll blossom into what you’re called to do.Ephesians 4:11-13 NAS 11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.A good definition of the fear of the Lord is:The respect filled evaluation of the repercussions of everything I doSome did not grow up with repercussions of their actionsThe fear of the Lord is our anchor when the storms of temptation hit our lives.Philippians 2:12-13 NAS 12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear (an alarm or exceeding fright) and trembling (a literal dreadful terrifying shaking); 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.What do you do with offense when you fearfully evaluate what it will do to you?How to you respond to wanting to hate someone that has done something horrible to you evaluating the spiritual repercussion.How open are you to the truth about yourself knowing that if you reject truth you will start a blinding process that could end you up in hell?So many think God’s grace will save them from the repercussions of their unrighteous actions.Grace gives you unlimited forgivenessGrace does not:Nullify the legal agreement you made with the enemyRemove the demonic that came in through the legal agreementCover you when your unrepentant and continuing in sinful behavior and actions.Where is that place where YOU step out of grace?I don’t know but why live in the danger zoneHebrews 10:26-27 AMP 26 For if we go on deliberately and willingly sinning after once acquiring the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice left to atone for [our] sins [no further offering to which to look forward]. 27 [There is nothing left for us then] but a kind of awful and fearful prospect and expectation of divine judgment and the fury of burning wrath and indignation which will consume those who put themselves in opposition [to God].Common danger statements from ChristiansI don’t have to go to churchYou can have the best Nascar car, you can be the best basketball player, etc. and if you never get on the track or the court you are of no value.It’s doesn’t matter where I go to
