Artificial intelligence So, even the biggest chatbots only have about a trillion connections in them. The human brain has about 100 trillion. And yet, in the trillion connections in a chatbot, it knows far more than you do in your hundred trillion connections,  which suggests it's got a much better way of  getting knowledge into those connections. Geoffrey Hinton, 60 Minutes interview, October 9, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com
Artificial intelligence Well, it's true they're just trying to predict the next word. But if you think about it, to predict the next word you have to understand the sentences. So, the idea they're just predicting the next word so they're not intelligent is crazy. You have to be really intelligent to predict the next word really accurately. Geoffrey Hinton, 60 Minutes interview, October 9, 2023, on large language models (LLMs) © 2023 Kwiple.com
Artificial intelligence What we did was we designed the learning algorithm. That's a bit like designing the principle of evolution. But when this learning algorithm then interacts with data, it produces complicated neural networks that are good at doing things. But we don't really understand exactly how they do those things. Geoffrey Hinton, 60 Minutes interview, October 9, 2023, explaining why, even though "we have a very good idea of sort of roughly what it's doing," nobody knows exactly what neural networks do © 2023 Kwiple.com

The Constitution of the United States Few Americans are aware that under the Constitution, a candidate could lose the popular vote and the Electoral College and still become president. In fact, it’s already happened [in 1824]. … In other words, assuming Mr. Trump is still a free man, he could be picked by  the House to be the 47th president, even if  Mr. Biden wins millions more popular votes and the most electoral votes.

Calculating a Member's Proportional Vote (MPV) for each member, as follows: MPV = SPNP / NLRS where: SPNP = State's Percentage of the National Population NLRS = Number of Legislators Representing the State (in that legislature) 2. Totaling “yes” MPVs and “no” MPVs 3. Passing if total MPV is more than 50 OTHERWISE Abolish the Senate © 2019 Kwiple.com
Longevity  If you’re among the most fortunate in America, you will live about as long as the most fortunate anywhere in the world. … But sifting through the [death] certificates, it will become clear that the fates of the dis-  advantaged are much more country-dependent. Even the most disadvantaged in Japan and Switzerland typically make it to 60. In France, Germany and Britain, they die at about 55. In the US, it’s just 41. … For men at the bottom of the US economic ladder, it’s even worse. My calculations suggest the average age of death in that group is just 36 years old, compared with 55 in the Netherlands and 57 in Sweden. John Burn-Murdoch, Financial Times, October 13, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com
Longevity The rapid decline of life expectancyv for America's poorest has come against a backdrop of falling poverty [rates] and rising [disposable] incomes. … In most wealthy countries, if you’re desperately unlucky in the longevity stakes, you succumb to cancer before you reach 60. But if you’re unlucky in the US, you die from a drug overdose or gunshot wound by 40. Which brings us again to the most shocking statistic: among the least fortunate 10 per cent of American men, the average age at death is 36.
