Someone please explain this to the college dropouts, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, so that they stop sucking away huge amounts of capital for failed "AGI" (there's no such thing as general intelligence) projects.

DC shooter worked for the CIA and was granted asylum by Trump. Further support comes from Republicans who refuse to pass reasonable gun laws and from the shooter's gun manufacturer, Smith & Wesson, of Tennessee.

Machine learning is the name, not AGI. There is no such thing as general Intelligence, natural or artificial. And continued scaling of LLMs is a fool's errand (unless you're an AGI profiteer such as Altman or Musk), leading to bad, expensive machine learning. garymarcus.substack.com/p/a-trillion...
A trillion dollars is a terrible thing to waste
The machine learning community is finally waking up to the madness, but the detour of the last few years has been costly.

Epidemiological study finding increased risk of cancer following Covid-19 vaccination.
biomarkerres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
1-year risks of cancers associated with COVID-19 vaccination: a large population-based cohort study in South Korea - Biomarker Research
The oncogenic potential of SARS-CoV-2 has been hypothetically proposed, but real-world data on COVID-19 infection and vaccination are insufficient. Therefore, this large-scale population-based retrospective study in Seoul, South Korea, aimed to estimate the cumulative incidences and subsequent risks of overall cancers 1 year after COVID-19 vaccination. Data from 8,407,849 individuals between 2021 and 2023 were obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance database. The participants were categorized into two groups based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. The risks for overall cancer were assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, and data were expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The HRs of thyroid (HR, 1.351; 95% CI, 1.206–1.514), gastric (HR, 1.335; 95% CI, 1.130–1.576), colorectal (HR, 1.283; 95% CI, 1.122–1.468), lung (HR, 1.533; 95% CI, 1.254–1.874), breast (HR, 1.197; 95% CI, 1.069–1.340), and prostate (HR, 1.687; 95% CI, 1.348–2.111) cancers significantly increased at 1 year post-vaccination. In terms of vaccine type, cDNA vaccines were associated with the increased risks of thyroid, gastric, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers; mRNA vaccines were linked to the increased risks of thyroid, colorectal, lung, and breast cancers; and heterologous vaccination was related to the increased risks of thyroid and breast cancers. Given the observed associations between COVID-19 vaccination and cancer incidence by age, sex, and vaccine type, further research is needed to determine whether specific vaccination strategies may be optimal for populations in need of COVID-19 vaccination.
