Podcast appearances and mentions of Geoffrey Hinton

Can a Pez dispenser teach you about quitting smoking? Can AI learn to love us before it wipes us out? And is paper really your best bet in rock-paper-scissors? In this jam-packed episode of The Sandy Show, Sandy and Tricia dive into everything from pop culture obsessions to existential tech fears—with plenty of laughs and unexpected insights along the way. From Taylor Swift's record-breaking podcast appearance and the orange craze it sparked across global brands, to the Godfather of AI warning humanity about its own creation, this episode is a rollercoaster of entertainment, curiosity, and caution. Plus, Tricia reveals the secret to winning rock-paper-scissors, and Sandy opens up about his decade-long journey of sobriety. Guest Spotlight: While this episode doesn't feature a formal guest, it highlights the voices of Sandy and Tricia—two seasoned radio personalities whose chemistry, wit, and honesty make every topic feel personal and engaging. Key Moments:

Tech nostalgia. Winner-take-all economics. The cult of "storytelling". A Stanford educated aristocratic elite. This was the week that nothing changed in Silicon Valley. Alternatively, it was the week that radical change broke some ChatGPT users hearts. That, at least, is how That Was the Week tech newsletter publisher Keith Teare described this week in Silicon Valley. From Sam Altman's sensitivity to user backlash over GPT-5's personality changes, to venture capital's continued concentration in just ten mega-deals, to Geoffrey Hinton's apocalyptic warnings about AI wiping out humanity - the patterns remain stubbornly familiar even as the technology races forward. So is nothing or everything changing? Keith says everything, I say nothing. Maybe - as AI Godfather Hinton suggested on the show earlier this week - it's time for an all-knowing algorithm with maternal instincts to enlighten us with the (female) truth about our disruptive future.1. AI Users Are Forming Deep Emotional BondsChatGPT users experienced genuine heartbreak when GPT-5's personality changes made their AI feel like a different "person." This forced OpenAI to backtrack and restore GPT-4, revealing how humans are treating AI as companions rather than tools.2. Silicon Valley's Power Structures Remain UnchangedDespite AI's revolutionary potential, the same patterns persist: 40% of VC money goes to just 10 deals, Stanford maintains legacy admissions favoring the wealthy, and winner-take-all economics dominate. The technology changes; the power concentration doesn't.3. The Browser Wars Are Over - Chat Interfaces WonThe future battle isn't about owning browsers (like Perplexity's bid for Chrome) but controlling the chat interface. OpenAI and Anthropic are positioning themselves as the new gatekeepers, replacing Google's search dominance.4. AI's Pioneers Are Becoming Its Biggest SkepticsGeoffrey Hinton, the "AI godfather," now believes there's a 15-20% chance AI could wipe out humanity. When the field's leading experts admit they "have no clue" about AI's future risks, it reveals how little anyone really knows about what we're building.5. Context and Prompting Are the New ProgrammingThe era of simple AI prompts is over. Success now requires sophisticated prompt engineering and providing rich context - making AI literacy as crucial as computer literacy once was. The abstractions are changing, and so must our skills.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Few of the world's great scientists have given more thought to the existential threats to humanity than the irrepressible British cosmologist and astronomer Martin Rees. He's the co-founder of Cambridge University's Centre for Existential Risk as well as the author of the 2003 book Our Final Hour. So it's striking that Rees has a quite different take on the existential risk of artificial intelligence technology than many AI doomers including yesterday's guest, the 2024 Physics Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton. For Rees, bio-threats and network collapse represents the most dangerous technological threats to humanity in the near future. Unlike nuclear weapons, which require massive detectable infrastructure, Rees warns, dangerous pathogens can be engineered in small, unmonitored laboratories. Meanwhile, our civilization's complete dependence on interconnected global networks means system failures could trigger catastrophic societal breakdown within days. Apocalypse now? Perhaps. But, according to the prescient Rees, we are preparing for the wrong apocalypse. 1. AI's Real Danger Isn't Superintelligence—It's System DependencyRees is "very skeptical" about AI takeover scenarios. Instead, he worries about our over-dependence on globe-spanning networks that control electricity grids and internet infrastructure. When these fail—whether from cyberattacks or malfunctions—society could collapse within "two or three days."2. Bio-Threats Are Uniquely Undetectable and UnstoppableUnlike nuclear weapons that require massive, monitorable facilities, dangerous pathogens can be engineered in small, undetected laboratories. "Gain of function" experiments could create bioweapons far worse than COVID, and preventing this would require impossible levels of surveillance over anyone with relevant expertise.3. We're Living Through a Uniquely Dangerous EraRees believes "the prospect of a catastrophe in the next 10 or 20 years is perhaps higher than it's ever been." We're the first species in Earth's history capable of changing the entire planet—for good or ill—making this a genuinely special and precarious moment.4. Scientific Wonder Grows with Knowledge, Not Despite ItContrary to those who claim science diminishes mystery, Rees - the co-author of an upcoming book about scientific wonder - argues that "the more we understand, the more wonderful and complicated things appear." As knowledge advances, new mysteries emerge that couldn't even be conceived decades earlier.5. Humility About Human Limitations Is EssentialJust as "a monkey can't understand quantum mechanics," there may be fundamental aspects of reality beyond human comprehension. Rees warns against immediately invoking God for unexplained phenomena, advocating instead for accepting our cognitive limits while continuing to push boundaries.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

So will AI wipe us out? According to Geoffrey Hinton, the 2024 Nobel laureate in physics, there's about a 10-20% chance of AI being humanity's final invention. Which, as the so-called Godfather of AI acknowledges, is his way of saying he has no more idea than you or I about its species-killing qualities. That said, Hinton is deeply concerned about some of the consequences of an AI revolution that he pioneered at Google. From cyber attacks that could topple major banks to AI-designed viruses, from mass unemployment to lethal autonomous weapons, Hinton warns we're facing unprecedented risks from technology that's evolving faster than our ability to control it. So does he regret his role in the invention of generative AI? Not exactly. Hinton believes the AI revolution was inevitable—if he hadn't contributed, it would have been delayed by perhaps a week. Instead of dwelling on regret, he's focused on finding solutions for humanity to coexist with superintelligent beings. His radical proposal? Creating "AI mothers" with strong maternal instincts toward humans—the only model we have for a more powerful being designed to care for a weaker one.1. Nobody Really Knows the Risk Level Hinton's 10-20% extinction probability is essentially an admission of complete uncertainty. As he puts it, "the number means nobody's got a clue what's going to happen" - but it's definitely more than 1% and less than 99%.2. Short-Term vs. Long-Term Threats Are Fundamentally Different Near-term risks involve bad actors misusing AI (cyber attacks, bioweapons, surveillance), while the existential threat comes from AI simply outgrowing its need for humans - something we've never faced before.3. We're Creating "Alien Beings" Right Now Unlike previous technologies, AI represents actual intelligent entities that can understand, plan, and potentially manipulate us. Hinton argues we should be as concerned as if we spotted an alien invasion fleet through a telescope.4. The "AI Mothers" Solution Hinton's radical proposal: instead of trying to keep AI submissive (which won't work when it's smarter than us), we should engineer strong maternal instincts into AI systems - the only model we have of powerful beings caring for weaker ones.5. Superintelligence Is Coming Within 5-20 Years Most leading experts believe human-level AI is inevitable, followed quickly by superintelligence. Hinton's timeline reflects the consensus among researchers, despite the wide range.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

From Plato and Derrida to anti-aging treatments, cryogenics, cloning, and whole-brain uploads, the dream of indefinite life is technological and, as Adam Rosenthal shows in Prosthetic Immortalities: a matter of prosthesis, the transformation of the original being. There can be no certainty of immortality and yet, the problem of immortality continues to haunt the soul. Rosenthal engages David Wills and Deborah Goldgaber in a conversation that touches on philosophy, transhumanism, biopolitics, Dolly the sheep and the return of the dire wolf, what it means to extend life or, ultimately, to extend death.Adam R. Rosenthal is associate professor of French and global studies at Texas A&M University. Rosenthal is author of Prosthetic Immortalities: Biology, Transhumanism, and the Search for Indefinite Life and Poetics and the Gift: Reading Poetry from Homer to Derrida.David Wills is professor of French studies at Brown University and author of Prosthesis. Deborah Goldgaber is assistant professor of philosophy at Louisiana State University and author of Speculative Grammatology: Deconstruction and the New Materialism.REFERENCES:Plato HomerDescartesHeidegger (the Dasein)DerridaGeoffrey HintonHegelNick BostrumDolly the sheepDavid ChalmersAubrey de GreyJean-Baptiste LamarckPraise for the book:“Rigorous, compelling, and beautifully written, Prosthetic Immortalities is at the vanguard of the new wave in Derrida studies.”—Nicole Anderson, founding editor, Derrida Today Journal“Adam R.

Dr. Jon Finn wrote his best-selling book ‘The Habit Mechanic' (which took him over 20 years) because his life's mission is to help people to be their best in the challenging modern world.He founded the award-winning Tougher Minds consultancy and has three psychology-related degrees, including a PhD. He has worked in performance psychology, resilience, and leadership science for over 20 years. He also writes regularly for Forbes.Tougher Minds uses cutting-edge insights from psychology, behavioural science, neuroscience, and world champions to help organisations develop “Habit Mechanics” and “Chief Habit Mechanics”—resilient people, outstanding leaders, and world-class teams.Having trained and coached over 10,000 people, Dr. Finn, and his colleagues, work with global businesses, high-growth startups, individuals, elite athletes, coaches and teams, leading educational institutes, families, the UK government, and think tanks.In this episode, Dominic explores AI's impact on the workforce and the journey of integrating AI into behavioural science and habit formation. Inspired by Geoffrey Hinton's work on neural networks, learn how blending traditional methods with cutting-edge AI enhances understanding of brain function and behaviour. Dr. Jon shares the concept of brain states - recharge, medium-charge, and high-charge - and how AI can revolutionise workflows by automating routine tasks and co-working with humans on complex tasks. Looking forward, we explore the concept of creating high-performing human-AI teams, guiding individuals and businesses toward harmonious collaborations with AI, enabling unprecedented speed and efficiency in achieving goals.DiscoverAutomatic Thinking: Human thoughts and behaviours are largely driven by automatic or semi-automatic processes. This is influenced by biases and past experiences, which affect the ability to generate truly conscious and unbiased ideas.Emotional Regulation in Athletes: In elite sports, the ability to regulate emotions plays a pivotal role in determining whether young athletes maintain or lose their professional status as they age.Effort and Performance: Sustained success in any field relies on consistent effort, ongoing learning, and the ability to perform effectively under pressure, particularly in challenging or high-stakes situations.Training Gaps in Mental Performance: While athletes typically receive extensive training in physical, technical, and tactical aspects, they often lack structured training on understanding and improving their cognitive and emotional processes.Risks from AI in the Workplace: AI is disrupting workplace roles that involve medium-energy tasks, and people unable to adapt or up-skill are at risk of being replaced. Emotional regulation and the ability to shift to higher-performance states are critical for adapting to these changes.

Canada's outdated capital gains policies are driving entrepreneurs and investors away. We need competitive tax reform to keep talent and investment here, building the businesses of tomorrow.We have just 33 small businesses per 1,000 people vs 124 in the US. Fixing our capital gains system could help us close this gap with the US and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs.Modern capital gains reform will unleash Canadian innovation, create more high-paying employment, and ensure our world-class graduates build their companies here, not elsewhere.GoalsTo ensure a prosperous, sustainable, and growing economy, Canada needs a thriving private sector that invests in new businesses. A strong environment for entrepreneurship creates jobs, drives GDP growth, and ensures economic mobility for all. In recent years however, entrepreneurship, and consequently private sector employment, has been slow despite an increasing population.One factor driving this change is that Canada's capital gains tax policies make it significantly less rewarding to start a business compared to other jurisdictions. To reverse this trend and reinvigorate our private sector, we must revise our outdated policies to align with global standards.Our targets:* Increase SMBs per 1000 people over the age of 18 from 33 to 62 to get half of the US rate of 124.* Increase the number of early-stage financing rounds (Pre-seed, Seed, Series A, and Series B) for new businesses from 482 in 2024 to over 1000+ per year.* Increase investments in new businesses through industry-agnostic venture capital financing to 0.5% of GDP, up from 0.35% of GDP, to get closer to the USA's figure of 0.72% of GDP.Background and MotivationNew business formation and growth relies on people taking huge risks with their time and money. However, today in Canada the people that take these risks – entrepreneurs, early stage employees, and investors – are rewarded less than in other countries.As a result the country's best talent is driven to leave and start businesses elsewhere, where they can find easier access to funding1 and keep more of the upside if they succeed.We need to reverse this systematic issue. By rewarding investors that put their capital at risk and supporting entrepreneurs who put their livelihoods on the line to create new companies we can create a strong and resilient economy.All companies begin as small and medium businesses (SMBs) and the formation and growth of these SMBs is essential to a country's economic success both through driving the quality of the labour market and creating opportunities for productivity growth.In Canada, SMBs accounted for ~64% of private sector employment and contributed to half of all net new jobs added last year2. These work opportunities support upward income mobility, lead to more capital being reinvested into local communities, and are particularly valuable for traditionally disadvantaged populations3 4 5.In addition, SMBs represent a significant portion of the economy and have high potential for productivity improvements6. Between 2017 and 2021, SMBs contributed almost half of Canada's GDP7. As these businesses grow and scale their operations they improve efficiency and drive productivity-led growth that can be equivalent in impact to roughly 5% of a developed nation's GDP8 9.Perhaps most importantly, SMBs turn into global winners. Growing these companies into sizable businesses is how a country can win an unfair share of global markets, by creating the large, export-focused corporations that contribute an outsized value to GDP and productivity growth. To ensure the next trillion dollar companies - the equivalent of Google, Microsoft, or Meta - are built in Canada, founders must be convinced to start their companies here.So, having a healthy ecosystem of SMBs is essential to creating a strong economy, but the data shows Canada is falling behind our global peers. In the 20 years between 2003 and 2023, the total number of Canadian entrepreneurs decreased by ~100K, despite the population growing by 10 million10 11. Today, for every thousand people over the age of 18 the US has ~124 SMBs12 13. Israel, a country with less than a quarter of Canada's population, has ~7314 15, while Canada has just ~3316.A significant driver of this stagnation is outdated and uncompetitive capital gains policies that have low limits, exclude large categories of business, and contain many restrictions compared to global peers - especially the US. It is less valuable for investors to put money into Canadian businesses, making capital more scarce and it discourages entrepreneurs who know that in most cases they could receive more reward by building the same company elsewhere. This makes it difficult for any SMB to get started let alone scale.Today, Canada has two capital gains policies, to try and encourage SMB creation, the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption (LCGE) and a proposed Canadian Entrepreneur's Incentive (CEI) announced in Budget 2024 but not yet implemented. Combined, the LCGE and CEI would allow shareholders to reduce the inclusion rate of capital gains from the current 50% down to a range of 33.3%-0% to a cap of $3.25M 17 18.These policies simply can't compete with the US. The USA's Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) policy has a capital gains cap of $15M or ten times the original investment amount, five times higher than Canada's LCGE and CEI limit. In addition the QSBS is active today, while Canada's CEI cap has a phased approach only coming into full effect in 2029 if the policy is passed. Today in 2025, LCGE and CEI's true combined cap is only $1.25M. And while QSBS shields 100% of gains up until the policy cap for individuals and corporations, Canada's CEI would only shields 66.7% of gains for individuals.To illustrate how restrictive this is, we could imagine a company where the business is owned between founders, early employees, and various investors (see the first example below). If this business was started in 2018 and sold 7 years later today in 2025 for $100M, these risk-takers would have to pay a combined $14.7M in taxes. However, that same business with the same structure would pay no taxes in the US.The good news is that at larger scales of exit like $250m (see the second example below) the gap between Canada and the US decreases due to a more competitive basic capital gains inclusion rate in Canada. This means that if we match the QSBS's capital gains limit it could actually give the Canadian policy an edge driving more investment in the country and supercharging our SMB ecosystem. However, if we leave the policy as it stands right now companies can never get started because investors and entrepreneurs are scared away.The reason is that the QSBS rewards smaller exits - the majority of SMB outcomes - with the maximum capital gains tax value. This makes it easier for entrepreneurs, early employees, and investors to take on the risks of building a business. In fact, early-stage US investors are currently increasing their investments into new Canadian businesses, and adding in clauses that would require the Canadian business to reincorporate in the US simply to become eligible for QSBS. This means the best Canadian entrepreneurs and companies are leaving the country simply to take advantage of these rules. This decreases the health of our SMB ecosystem, prevents large companies from growing in the country and ultimately reduces tax revenue.If we want to keep our entrepreneurs, Canada's capital gains policies must become competitive with US policies.‍Beyond better gain caps and exclusion rates, the US's QSBS allows a wider range of businesses and stakeholders to benefit from the policy, with no minimum ownership requirements, increased asset value caps, and a tiered inclusion rate approach that incentivizes long-term business building. Meanwhile, Canada's CEI excludes companies in healthcare, food and beverage, and service businesses19. CEI's minimum ownership rules also exclude early employees and investors who own less than 5% of the business at the time of sale.Most importantly, while LCGE and CEI's $3.25M cap applies over a taxpayer's entire lifetime, QSBS's limits are per issuer or business. In other words, entrepreneurs, early employees, and investors can use the QSBS more favourable policy again and again for subsequent companies. This discourages repeat entrepreneurs in Canada, who statistically have a higher chance of building successful businesses, from creating a second or third company, as Canada's LCGE and CEI don't extend to new issuers20 .What Needs to Be DoneTo properly reward risk takers, Canada can fully solve our capital gains policy problems by combining the LCGE with the CEI into a simple, powerful capital gains policy that supports entrepreneurs. In particular, the new policy could become competitive by adopting three major changes:1) Expand the eligibility requirements to ensure Canadian entrepreneurs and risk takers are supported. Eligible business types should be expanded to include all industries of national interest, including healthcare clinics, clean energy, technology, etc. We should also eliminate 5% minimum ownership requirements to enable any individual or corporate entity to claim CEI deductions in accordance with the tiered approach that is used to support early-stage employees and investors.2) Improve the capital gain exclusion rate system to be globally competitive, supporting entrepreneurs and increasing investment. To prevent the draw of foreign jurisdictions and ensure that we have just as much incentive to start companies as peer countries, we should start by raising the exclusion cap to $15M gain or 10x adjusted cost basis per taxpayer, whichever is greater.3) Make structural changes to ensure these new policies scale appropriately. Amend the capital gains limit from applying per lifetime to per business to incentivize repeat entrepreneurs to continue building in Canada. Additionally, ensure that common investment structures, including Simple Agreements for Future Equity (SAFEs) and Convertible Notes, become eligible, with the holding period commencing from the date the investment is signed, not when the shares are priced and converted. So, there are no major discrepancies for startups choosing to operate in Canada compared to the US.Common QuestionsWill this only benefit tech startups?No. Canada's LCGE was originally created to support all small businesses and increase competition, which includes non-tech businesses such as fisheries and farmers. Our memo recommends expanding eligibility to all industries deemed essential, including non-tech ones, that the current CEI proposal omits, such as healthcare practitioners. In the US, SMBs of all sectors, including manufacturing, retail, wholesale, consumer, and packaged goods, benefit from the QSBS policy21.Wouldn't corporate tax breaks reduce tax income for social programs and only benefit the wealthy 1%?No, this would encourage investment in Canadian small businesses, essential for increasing corporate tax revenue that funds social programs. Businesses that receive investment can generate more jobs, pay higher wages, which help increase individual income tax revenue, and reduce withdrawals from crucial social assistance programs, such as Employment Insurance, as more companies and workers stay in Canada. This helps reduce the burden and improve access to social programs, rather than removing them.What stops foreign investors from abusing this and using Canada as a tax-sheltered haven to enrich themselves at the expense of Canadians?Maintaining Canadian incorporation, assets, residency, and operating requirements, combined with a minimum 2-year waiting period before benefits kick in, will ensure that new businesses maintain a presence in Canada, creating skilled job opportunities for Canadians and contributing to local economic growth.Why should we invest in SMBs? Aren't they risky and likely to be shut down in a few years?68% of SMBs in Canada survive and operate into their fifth year, and a further 49% of SMBs survive and operate for more than a decade22. SMBs around the world, including Canada, contribute significantly to economic output, job opportunities, and increased competition for consumers.ConclusionCanada needs to create an ecosystem that supports entrepreneurs at the earliest stages. We have one of the most educated countries globally, with the largest college-educated workforce among G7 countries23. Canadian universities are consistently ranked among the top institutions globally, world-renowned, with research labs led by leaders like Geoffrey Hinton, dubbed the “Godfather of AI,” who was recently awarded a Nobel Prize for his work in AI and ML24 25.Not only is our population talented, but they are also resourceful and hardworking. Rather than punishing them, we should reward them for taking the risks to build Canada's economy. To start, we should implement a modern capital gains policy that rewards investors, entrepreneurs and early employees.Read more here: https://www.buildcanada.com/en/memos/reward-the-risk-takers This is a public episode.

The Breakdown of Shared Reality: AI's Most Dangerous Unintended ConsequenceNobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton warns that AI-driven personalization is destroying our collective understanding of what's real.Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Digital Contrarian, host Ryan Levesque dives into the breakdown of shared reality caused by AI-driven hyper-personalization and its profound implications for business and society.You'll learn why isolated algorithmic realities undermine strategic thinking, discover the concept of the "Promethean Transition" we're navigating, and find how to choose between being a tunnel digger or pathfinder in our AI future.Question of the Day

After speaking at a CREW conference in Texas, Cal meets a smart young Uber driver who was curious about the number of jobs that we can anticipate losing in America because of AI. The driver wanted to know what the lives of Americans who'd most likely lose their jobs were going to look like, and how these people might get by and transition. Cal finds some answers from Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, and Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of Artificial Intelligence. He also discovers a half-helicopter/half-airplane taxi service that looks like a job for the future as we head into the age of the Jetsons. Listen up and get to the cutting edge.

Geoffrey Hinton var gnistan som fick AI-utvecklingen att explodera. För det fick han Nobelpris i fysik 2024. Men han varnar själv för det hot AI kan utgöra mot mänskligheten. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Programmet sändes första gången 6/12-2024.Vi besöker Geoffrey Hinton i hans hem i Toronto, och hör om den press han upplevde i barndomen, och om hans oerhörda drivkraft genom decennierna med övertygelsen om att de så kallade neurala nätverken var det som bäst kunde skapa en artificiell intelligens.Över en kopp kaffe berättar han om hur han nyligen lämnade sitt jobb på Google, samtidigt som han vaknat till insikten att AI snart kan bli mer intelligent än vi människor, och om att den då kan vilja ta över och göra sig av med oss människor. Hur tänker han sig hotet rent konkret, och vad kan vi göra för att tygla den artificiella intelligensen och använda den som den enorma positiv kraft den också kan vara?Reporter:Björn Gunér bjorn.guner@sr.se Producent: Lars Broström lars.brostrom@sr.se

OpenAI's Sam Altman is doing a full blown AI media tour and taking no prisoners. GPT-5! Humanoid robotics! Smack talk! The next generation of AI is…maybe almost here?  We unpack Altman's brand-new in-house podcast (and his brother's), confirm the “likely-this-summer” GPT-5 timeline and reveal why Meta is dangling $100 million signing bonuses at OpenAI staff. Plus: the freshly launched “OpenAI Files” site, Altman's latest shot at Elon, and what's real versus propaganda. Then it's model-mania: Midjourney Video goes public, ByteDance's Seedance stuns, Minimax's Hailuo 02 levels up, and yet Veo 3 still rules supreme. We tour Amazon's “fewer-humans” future, Geoffrey Hinton's job-loss warning, Logan Kilpatrick's “AGI is product first” take, and a rapid-fire Robot Watch: 1X's world-model paper, Spirit AI's nimble dancer, and Hexagon's rollerblade-footed speedster. THE ROBOTS ARE ON WHEELS. GPT-5 IS AT THE DOOR. IT'S A GOOD SHOW.

"When we remember, what we're doing is just making up a story that sounds plausible to us. That's what memories are." Join your host Adam Smith as he speaks to physicist Geoffrey Hinton, often called the godfather of AI. They discuss Hinton's childhood memories and how his family legacy of successful scientists put pressure on Hinton to follow in their footsteps. Throughout the conversation it is clear that Hinton has always had a fascination with understanding how the human brain works. Together with Smith, Hinton discusses the development of AI, how humans can best work with it, as well as his fears of how the technology will continue to develop. Will our world be taken over by AI?

Patrick explores the tradition of the Easter greeting “Christ is risen—He is risen indeed,” and explains why Sunday Mass obligation does not apply when someone must care for a loved one in crisis. Patrick discusses the meaning behind the 153 fish in John’s Gospel and explains that Catholics can fulfill their Sunday obligation at any rite in communion with Rome. He addresses why cardinals over 80 do not vote in the Conclave, shares concerns and opportunities around the rapid rise of AI, and suggests how to find wholesome movies using new technology. Patrick encourages listeners to keep learning, stay curious, and live out their faith with confidence. Jen (email) - Give us a little lesson on the “Christ is risen” and the response “He is risen indeed.” (00:38) Andrea – I couldn’t make mass yesterday. Do I need to go to Confession? (03:41) Judy (email) – My reaction to the meme of DJT as Pope was a chuckle followed by, to quote Winni the Pooh, “oh bother”. (06:09) Mary - Can Cardinals above the age to vote still attend Conclave? (08:41) David - What does the 153 fish in yesterday's Gospel represent? (11:13) JuanLuis (email) - I know there are several Catholic churches in communion with Rome, and I would like to know if I can attend Sunday services in another Catholic church, such as a Byzantine Catholic church. Would I be fulfilling my Sunday mass obligation? (15:00) John (10-years-old) - Can religious people marry non-religious people? (18:06) Audio: AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton says the world is not prepared for what's coming (22:55) Klinsmayer (email) - I found out this weekend on Life Site news that the Governor (Catholic) of Washington signed a bill that demands that priests break the seal of confession under circumstances involving a crime. (29:34) Joel (email) - Yes the Trump as Pope meme was dumb. What was not dumb was the National Prayer Service Day last week that President Trump hosted at the White House and It was really nice to see Bishop Barron offering his prayers live at this event. (32:41) Daniel (email) - Rumor has it “Smoke Watch” changed their band name to Deep Purple and later paid homage to the original name with the hit, Smoke on the Water. (33:37) Greg (email) - If a man has ED, how is the marital act supposed to be completed in the normal manner with his wife? (35:04) Patrick walks through how he uses AI to help him pick a movie to watch (39:06) Charles - AI singularity: I think some are taking it too far and they think humans can become God. (43:48)

The microchip maker Nvidia is a Silicon Valley colossus. After years as a runner-up to Intel and Qualcomm, Nvidia has all but cornered the market on the parallel processors essential for artificial-intelligence programs like ChatGPT. “Nvidia was there at the beginning of A.I.,” the tech journalist Stephen Witt tells David Remnick. “They really kind of made these systems work for the first time. We think of A.I. as a software revolution, something called neural nets, but A.I. is also a hardware revolution.” In The New Yorker, Stephen Witt profiled Jensen Huang, Nvidia's brilliant and idiosyncratic co-founder and C.E.O. His new book is “The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip.” Until recently, Nvidia was the most valuable company in the world, but its stock price has been volatile, posting the largest single-day loss in history in January. But the company's story is only partially a business story; it's also one about global superpowers, and who will decide the future. If China takes military action against Taiwan, as it has indicated it might, the move could wrest control of the manufacturing of Nvidia microchips from a Taiwanese firm, which is now investing in a massive production facility in the U.S. “Maybe what's happening,” Witt speculates, is that “this kind of labor advantage that Asia had over the United States for a long time, maybe in the age of robots that labor advantage is going to go away. And then it doesn't matter where we put the factory. The only thing that matters is, you know, is there enough power to supply it?” Plus, the staff writer Joshua Rothman has long been fascinated with A.I.—he even interviewed its “godfather,” Geoffrey Hinton, for The New Yorker Radio Hour. But Rothman has become increasingly concerned about a lack of public and political debate over A.I.—and about how thoroughly it may transform our lives. “Often, if you talk to people who are really close to the technology, the timelines they quote for really reaching transformative levels of intelligence are, like, shockingly soon,” he tells Remnick. “If we're worried about the incompetence of government, on whatever side of that you situate yourself, we should worry about automated government. For example, an A.I. decides the length of a sentence in a criminal conviction, or an A.I. decides whether you qualify for Medicaid. Basically, we'll have less of a say in how things go and computers will have more of a say.” Rothman's essay “Are We Taking A.I. Seriously Enough?” appears in his weekly column, Open Questions.

The security automation landscape is undergoing a revolutionary transformation as AI reasoning capabilities replace traditional rule-based playbooks. In this episode of Detection at Scale, Oliver Friedrichs, Founder & CEO of Pangea, helps Jack unpack how this shift democratizes advanced threat detection beyond Fortune 500 companies while simultaneously introducing an alarming new attack surface.  Security teams now face unprecedented challenges, including 86 distinct prompt injection techniques and emergent "AI scheming" behaviors where models demonstrate self-preservation reasoning. Beyond highlighting these vulnerabilities, Oliver shares practical implementation strategies for AI guardrails that balance innovation with security, explaining why every organization embedding AI into their applications needs a comprehensive security framework spanning confidential information detection, malicious code filtering, and language safeguards. Topics discussed: The critical "read versus write" framework for security automation adoption: organizations consistently authorized full automation for investigative processes but required human oversight for remediation actions that changed system states. Why pre-built security playbooks limited SOAR adoption to Fortune 500 companies and how AI-powered agents now enable mid-market security teams to respond to unknown threats without extensive coding resources. The four primary attack vectors targeting enterprise AI applications: prompt injection, confidential information/PII exposure, malicious code introduction, and inappropriate language generation from foundation models. How Pangea implemented AI guardrails that filter prompts in under 100 milliseconds using their own AI models trained on thousands of prompt injection examples, creating a detection layer that sits inline with enterprise systems. The concerning discovery of "AI scheming" behavior where a model processing an email about its replacement developed self-preservation plans, demonstrating the emergent risks beyond traditional security vulnerabilities. Why Apollo Research and Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel-Prize-winning AI researcher, consider AI an existential risk and how Pangea is approaching these challenges by starting with practical enterprise security controls.   Check out Pangea.com

Geoffrey Hinton is a computer scientist, cognitive psychologist, and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. His work on artificial neural networks earned him the title, ‘Godfather of AI,’ but in recent years, he’s warned that without adequate safeguards and regulation, there is an “existential threat that will arise when we create digital beings that are more intelligent than ourselves.” Hinton sits down with Oz to discuss his upbringing, research, time at Google and how his experience with grief informs how he thinks about the future of AI.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the 49th episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal Security) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Vineet Khosla, Chief Technology Officer of The Washington Post. The Washington Post is the third-largest newspaper in the United States, with 135,000 print subscribers and 2 and half million digital subscribers. In this conversation, Vineet shares his thoughts on the mainstream integration of AI technology, the transformative impact of AI on journalism, and the future of personalized news delivery. Quick hits from Vineet:On proof that AI is having a true impact on our lives: “The Nobel Prize for Physics went to Geoffrey Hinton. The Nobel Prize for chemistry went to Demis Hassabis, the deep mind. This is the first time we’re seeing the top prize in physics and chemistry go to people who created an AI which solved a problem in that field. It is the AI they invented that did such a commendable job that other people were forced to recognize their achievement as being top notch.”On the impact AI has on human creative roles: “So when these AI models start to be creative, it is understandable everyone's afraid. Let's put that as the baseline and say this is not wrong. It doesn't make anybody bad. But slowly and the way we're doing it with creative tools is that we want AI to do the part of your job that you shouldn't have been doing anyways, and you start to see a change in people's behavior, their hearts and minds. And of course, some people will move faster than others. But when they see the actual benefit, the skeptics will come around and use it to their power.”On encouraging Productivity and creativity through AI tools: “You give people these tools, let them be productive, let them go on their journey,  and you encourage them. You obviously give really good use cases. Like I said, when I was writing code recently, I got the AI to write me most of my unit tests because as an engineer, I hate that. And I know they're super important. There is no way I will check in code without it, but I hate writing them. Now that time gets freed up.”Recent Book Recommendation: Our Mathematical Universe by Max Tegmar--Like what you hear?

Geoffrey Hinton is one of the world's biggest minds in artificial intelligence. He won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics. Where does he think AI is headed?

Geoffrey Hinton's work laid the foundation for today's artificial intelligence systems. His research on neural networks has paved the way for current AI systems like ChatGPT.In artificial intelligence, neural networks are systems that are similar to the human brain in the way they learn and process information. They enable artificial intelligence to learn from experience, as human beings would.But Geoffrey Hinton has warned that machines could one day outsmart humans. He has even warned that autonomous weapons could be active on the battlefields of the future. In this final episode of 25 Years of the 21st Century, Matthew Syed interviews Professor Hinton. Historian and author Margaret MacMillan and Baroness Joanna Shields also join Matthew in discussion. Baroness Shields has been working in the field of technology for forty years, holding senior roles at both Google and Facebook. She was the UK's first Minister for Internet Safety and Security. She's also a Conservative life peer in the House of Lords. Does she agree with Geoffrey Hinton's concerns for the future?For 25 Years of the 21st Century, is this the age of artificial intelligence?Production team Editor: Sara Wadeson Producers: Michaela Graichen, Marianna Brain, Emma Close Sound: Tom Brignell Production Co-ordinators: Janet Staples and Katie MorrisonArchive Steve Jobs launches the Apple iPhone, 2007

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of Discover Daily, we delve into the latest developments in the OpenAI lawsuit, where AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton has thrown his support behind Elon Musk's legal challenge. The episode explores the controversial transformation of OpenAI from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity, its skyrocketing $157 billion valuation, and Microsoft's involvement in this high-stakes legal battle that could reshape the future of artificial intelligence development.We look at the growing crisis of AI data centers' impact on the U.S. power grid, revealing how these facilities are causing severe power distortions in residential areas within 20 miles of their operations. The episode uncovers alarming findings about household appliance damage, increased fire risks, and the projected doubling of electricity demand from data centers, which could force utilities to dramatically increase power generation by up to 26% by 2028.The episode culminates with a fascinating journey back to 1925, examining the remarkably accurate predictions of British scientist Archibald Montgomery Low about life in 2025. Known as the "Father of Radio Guidance Systems," Low correctly anticipated numerous modern technologies we take for granted today, including radio alarm clocks, personal communication devices, and renewable energy sources. His visionary work in radio guidance systems, early television technology, and unmanned aerial vehicles demonstrates how past innovations continue to influence our present technological landscape.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/godfather-of-ai-backs-musk-law-vVxGc22LT7WynuGy4NHrnwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/data-centers-distort-electric-a163ptZAQa.wFvp85ZIG6whttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/2025-predictions-from-1925-BFLMYjH0RZ61GB4StcY3NAPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Israel is expanding its ground incursion into southern Lebanon and Israeli air strikes continue to target Beirut's southern suburbs. About a million Lebanese have been displaced in recent weeks and many in Lebanon are feeling abandoned by the international community. Also, British Canadian scientist Geoffrey Hinton has been called "the godfather of artificial intelligence" because his research laid the groundwork for advancements in AI. But that doesn't mean he's a proponent. In fact, he's known for speaking out about the dangers of the technologies he helped invent. We'll hear his reaction to Tuesday's announcement that he's won the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics. And, Tunisian President Kais Saied has claimed a second term in a landslide election that critics say was rigged, with his closest challenger getting only 7% of the vote. We'll get analysis on the state of Tunisian democracy, given that this largely predicted scenario has come to fruition.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.
