    I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

Whereas the AI that he is using in his self driving cars is a real and tangible thing that we still haven't fully figured out the legal ramifications for. I think it's a fair point to bring up that it is not in Elon Musk's best interests to advocate for more government scrutiny and regulations on self driving cars.

    When it comes to the flying vehicles, there is a problem I often see.
    While the guy mentioned quiet travel, they are still very noisy.
    Now imagine many if them flying around above your head.
    Something else that I see that could pose an issue is that the blades are often exposed, which is clearly a danger.
    Yes, people will be careful to begin with, but as they get used to such things, people are often more relaxed and tend to make mistakes or too many risks.
    The space required to land many of them might also be an issue.
    There might be some kind of limit on how close you can land one vehicle next to another or perhaps a building which will, of course, increase the space needed.
    I'm not sure enough things have been considered when it comes to such things that will create more problems than needed.

    For the editors and/or the speakers in the video, AGI is not the same thing as purpose built automation systems such as self-driving. They don't use the same algorithms (for now anyway). Therefore current iterations of the self-driving systems cannot really do anythjing outside of their parameters. AGI on the otherhand can because that's the whole point for AGI, which is to be as flexible as possible. We're nowhere near AGI yet but with this kind of attention (pun intended) maybe we'll get a breakthrough technology to achieve it. I suspect that an AGI system would constantly need a lot of computing power, not just for the training phase for it to be as flexible, as creative and as self-learning as possible. Hence even if it is invented, it may not be available for public consumption.

    • @2CSST2
      @2CSST2 10 місяців тому +8

      Although the specifics of the architectures are the same, both fully AI based self-driving systems and the current biggest LLM models in general are based on the same FUNDAMENTAL architecture: neural networks. So not everyone would agree with what you're declaring as fact. It's really unclear whether or not simply scaling enough a neural network eventually leads to AGI. That's because whatever the neural net is trying to achieve, the most logical way for it to keep making progress, as it's fed more and more parameters and compute power, is to keep building a better and more general model of the world. We already know neural networks are capable for this, those are the emergent capabilities. A bigger neural net to self-drive might very well emerge with having a general model of how the world works: to the level of knowing what humans are, how kids specifically act, understanding weather, physics, planning, etc. I'm rattling but really you either get it or you don't, neurons are atoms of intelligence/modeling, and add up enough of them and you end with AGI, even if some specific architectures do ti quicker than others.

    As I reflect on the events forecasted for 2024, they strongly resonate with Walt Rostow's stages of economic growth, especially the shift from "preconditions for take-off" to "drive to maturity." This transition is evident in the introduction of eVTOLs at the Paris Olympics, symbolizing not only a leap in transportation technology but also broader industrial maturation. Similarly, the geopolitical tensions surrounding Taiwan's elections and the strategic expansion of the BRICS group to include new members like Egypt and Saudi Arabia underscore the "drive to maturity" stage. These developments highlight how nations navigate complex economic, technological, and political landscapes to enhance their autonomy and influence, reflecting the intricate dynamics of Rostow’s model in modern contexts.

Also, much of this has been from a western perspective, which only proves that it is not an international news agency, and rather an EU/Western news agency.

    I love how you can't just report on stories without taking a shot at Trump. I'm not the biggest Trump fan in the world, certainly, but you can't deny the world was in a much more stable way when he was President.

    We might be having tensions on border with China but we share much much more interests India and China have more in common then India and us or China or us
    A bigger breakthrough will be having Iran and Saudi on one table

    One story to watch out for is, "Mary had a little lamb." It is still unknown how Mary miraculously had a little lamb and there is no record of how she birthed said little lamb.

    BRICSxASEAN would be the dream. Though, ASEAN is far from being an effective economic community. We are just neighbours saying hi to each other across fences and organise annual potlucks at the rich neighbours house.

    4:08 "they run entirely on battery, making them a sustainable way to fly". Sustainable, because electricity from battery's is MAGIC and not heavy at all. Ignoring fuel energy density is 12,000Wh/kg and a battery is 90Wh/kg, but magic sustainable batteries don't deal with facts. It's about you feelings. Sustainable, sustainable, sustainable. Cringe.

      and..... the truth is CO2 is not driving global warming, in fact it drives LIFE but the globalist criminals have no use for the " useless eaters" anymore and depopulation is their agenda (21), of which the owners of the Economist champion and support.
