MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 1st            Publish Date:  August 1st    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Thursday, August 1st and Happy heavenly Birthday to Jerry Garcia. ***08.01.24 – BIRTHDAY – JERRY GARCIA*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Cobb hosts practice run for new school bus riders Owens Maintains Fundraising Lead in Cobb Sheriff's Race Marietta Square Bookstore Expands   Plus, Bruce Jenkins sits down with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on how to manage snacking.   All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Cobb hosts practice run for new school bus riders    On Tuesday, Cobb County School District held its annual ride-along event for kindergarten and first-grade students to practice their new bus routes. Parents and children got to familiarize themselves with the school bus and Cheatham Hill Elementary School, which also hosted an open house. This event allowed families to meet teachers, drop off supplies, and explore the school. The day featured cheerleaders from Hillgrove High School and offered an additional open house later for those who missed the morning session. Overall, around 3,600 participants attended, with over 70,000 students expected to ride Cobb's 1,000 buses as school starts today. STORY 2:  Owens Maintains Fundraising Lead in Cobb Sheriff's Race Incumbent Cobb Sheriff Craig Owens, a Democrat, continued his strong fundraising into the summer, collecting $57,000 between April 30 and June 30. While this was a decrease from the previous period, Owens' total still significantly outpaces Republican challenger David Cavender, who raised just over $3,600 in the same period. Owens' notable contributors included Cobb District Attorney Flynn Broady Jr. and Armor Health. Owens has raised over $547,000 since his first campaign, with more than half spent on advertising and other campaign expenses. Cavender, a U.S. Army combat veteran, has raised $36,000 overall, with significant early spending on campaign costs. The next fundraising deadline is September 30. STORY 3: Marietta Square Bookstore Expands The Reading Attic, an independent bookstore in Marietta, has expanded into the downstairs area of Tiny Bubbles Tea Bar, integrating their book sales with the tea bar's gift shop. This new space features additional shelves for books, including a selection of bestsellers and children's books. The expansion aims to improve accessibility, as the bookstore's original upstairs location had limitations for those with disabilities and parents with strollers. Tiny Bubbles, which now combines seating with bookstore space, sees the partnership as mutually beneficial. The Reading Attic, celebrating its one-year anniversary, hopes the expansion will boost visibility and allow for larger events. The bookstore will now match Tiny Bubbles' hours, operating daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.    We'll be right back  Break: DRAKE STORY 4: Cobb Idol at the Strand raises funds for theater The Strand Theatre's fourth annual Cobb Idol competition on Saturday showcased local talent with performances of classic rock hits, themed "Rock 'n Roll Royalty." Featuring live bands, backup singers, and dancers, the event drew about 300 attendees. Contestants competed for a $500 prize, with Chris Wiggins winning both the judges' and audience votes for his rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'." The event also included a V.I.P. auction and raffle, raising around $35,000 for the theater. Cobb Idol, originally founded by Wendy Bunch and the Cobb Association of Realtors, was revived by the Strand Theatre to continue celebrating local talent. STORY 5: Cobb Recovers from Thunderstorm   Tuesday night, Cobb County faced widespread damage and power outages from a severe thunderstorm with 60 mph wind gusts. The storm hit around 7:58 p.m. and cleared by 8:45 p.m., with Acworth experiencing significant damage, including broken power poles, fallen trees, and blocked roads. Crews responded to 77 reports of trees down across the county. No injuries were reported, and isolated thunderstorms are expected to continue throughout the week, according to the National Weather Service.

Welcome your robot overlords! In episode 101 of Overthink, Ellie and David speak with Dr. Shazeda Ahmed, specialist in AI Safety, to dive into the philosophy guiding artificial intelligence. With the rise of LLMs like ChatGPT, the lofty utilitarian principles of Effective Altruism have taken the tech-world spotlight by storm. Many who work on AI safety and ethics worry about the dangers of AI, from how automation might put entire categories of workers out of a job to how future forms of AI might pose a catastrophic “existential risk” for humanity as a whole. And yet, optimistic CEOs portray AI as the beginning of an easy, technology-assisted utopia. Who is right about AI: the doomers or the utopians? And whose voices are part of the conversation in the first place? Is AI risk talk spearheaded by well-meaning experts or investor billionaires? And, can philosophy guide discussions about AI toward the right thing to do?Check out the episode's extended cut here!Nick Bostrom, SuperintelligenceAdrian Daub, What Tech Calls ThinkingVirginia Eubanks, Automating InequalityMollie Gleiberman, “Effective Altruism and the strategic ambiguity of ‘doing good'”Matthew Jones and Chris Wiggins, How Data HappenedWilliam MacAskill, What We Owe the FutureToby Ord, The PrecipiceInioluwa Deborah Raji et al., “The Fallacy of AI Functionality”Inioluwa Deborah Raji and Roel Dobbe, “Concrete Problems in AI Safety, Revisted”Peter Singer, Animal LiberationAmia Srinivisan, “Stop The Robot Apocalypse” Patreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail |  Dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcastSupport the show

Today is the anniversary of Open AI's launch of Chat GPT, a tool which brought AI out of the realm of sci-fi and right to our fingertips. AI seems to have crept into every facet of our lives in that one year, and it's hard to know if that's a good or bad thing–especially in light of the chaos wrought by Open AI's recent firing and rehiring of their co-founder Sam Altman.   Sometimes it feels like the battle lines are drawn–you can be for or against AI–and the stakes are high. So in this episode of Next Question, Katie is joined by her plus one, Vivian Schiller, in conversation with data scientists and AI ambassadors Chris Wiggins and Vilas Dhar, to sort through some of the noise.    The panel covers a lot of ground, but remains grounded in real-world examples (and there are several acronyms defined!), to rationally consider what AI can and should do for us now, what risks we should keep an eye on, and who needs to be involved in the conversation shaping AI's next chapter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From facial recognition―capable of checking people into flights or identifying undocumented residents―to automated decision systems that inform who gets loans and who receives bail, each of us moves through a world determined by data-empowered algorithms. But these technologies didn't just appear: they are part of a history that goes back centuries, from the census enshrined in the US Constitution to the birth of eugenics in Victorian Britain to the development of Google search. In How Data Happened: A History from the Age of Reason to the Age of Algorithms (Norton, 2023), Chris Wiggins and Matthew L. Jones illuminate the ways in which data has long been used as a tool and a weapon in arguing for what is true, as well as a means of rearranging or defending power. They explore how data was created and curated, as well as how new mathematical and computational techniques developed to contend with that data serve to shape people, ideas, society, military operations, and economies. Although technology and mathematics are at its heart, the story of data ultimately concerns an unstable game among states, corporations, and people. How were new technical and scientific capabilities developed; who supported, advanced, or funded these capabilities or transitions; and how did they change who could do what, from what, and to whom? Wiggins and Jones focus on these questions as they trace data's historical arc, and look to the future. By understanding the trajectory of data―where it has been and where it might yet go―Wiggins and Jones argue that we can understand how to bend it to ends that we collectively choose, with intentionality and purpose. Jake Chanenson is a computer science Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago. Broadly, Jake is interested in topics relating to HCI, privacy, and tech policy.

In How Data Happened: A History from the Age of Reason to the Age of Algorithms (Norton, 2023), Chris Wiggins and Matthew L. Jones illuminate the ways in which data has long been used as a tool and a weapon in arguing for what is true, as well as a means of rearranging or defending power. They explore how data was created and curated, as well as how new mathematical and computational techniques developed to contend with that data serve to shape people, ideas, society, military operations, and economies. Although technology and mathematics are at its heart, the story of data ultimately concerns an unstable game among states, corporations, and people. How were new technical and scientific capabilities developed; who supported, advanced, or funded these capabilities or transitions; and how did they change who could do what, from what, and to whom? Wiggins and Jones focus on these questions as they trace data's historical arc, and look to the future. By understanding the trajectory of data―where it has been and where it might yet go―Wiggins and Jones argue that we can understand how to bend it to ends that we collectively choose, with intentionality and purpose.

Ever wonder why mosquitoes are attracted to some people more than others? I begin this episode by discussing 5 factors that make you so irresistible to those pesky insects. https://theweek.com/articles/462191/5-things-that-make-irresistible-mosquitoes Consumer behavior is a fascinating area of research. While people like to think they make objective decisions about what to buy or not buy, there are a lot of factors that influence those decisions such as description, price, ease of use and many more. And they influence you in ways that are not so obvious. Joining me to explain these factors is Richard Shotton. He is a behavioral scientist and author of the book The Illusion of Choice: 16 ½ Psychological Biases That Influence What We Buy (https://amzn.to/3q2Vne9). What do you think of when you hear the word data? Doesn't it seem that data has an air of certainty, authority and objectivity. It's hard to argue with data, right? That's what concerns Chris Wiggins who is here to take a hard look at the history of data, algorithms and statistics and how they have come to drive so much of our lives. Should we accept data simply because, well, it's data? Or should we be a bit more skeptical? Chris Wiggins is an associate professor of applied mathematics at Columbia University and he is the New York Times's chief data scientist and co-author of the book How Data Happened: A History from the Age of Reason to the Age of Algorithms (https://amzn.to/3luS1Pb).
