gipp. every new year is the end of the world as i know it.I just watched all of that interview this morning. She’s brilliant as always.
The title is misleading. Describing it as the end of the world is not accurate. She discusses many issues and doesn’t proclaim it’s the end of the world.
...and I feel fine...The end of the world as we know it...
For some reason I've always despised that song_ maybe because radio DJs have tried to force feed it to me for so long....and I feel fine...
Yeah. Me, too.For some reason I've always despised that song...
But that is precisely the point that is being made and I assume you did not listen to the Chat ....and I feel fine...
I try to be optimistic.
( like The Rush song from power windows the Manhattan Project I'm one of the hopeful depending on the World Without End whatever the Hopeless may say

Losing Pilger is a big blow. I always enjoyed his columns. He was excellent as is Hersch and Parry was.I watch all of the interviews she does.
IMO, she is that next generation's Sy Hersch, John Pilger, Robert Parry etc. None too soon, as Parry died a few years ago, and Pilger just died.

One of the world's last Muckraking, independent, anti-authoritarian investigative journalists, and probably Julian Assange's greatest advocate has passed. Whether you were on the left, or the right, a valuable source of information, that opposed the establishment, is now silent. :( "John...www.usmessageboard.com
I don't remember, because it was a few days past that I watched this one, and I get them mixed up. Was it this one that she mentioned a book that Kissinger wrote a book with the former executive chairmen of Google, Eric Schmidt?

In “The Age of AI,” Henry Kissinger, Eric Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher explore how far artificial intelligence has come.web.archive.org
". . . . After finishing “The Age of AI,” a new book about artificial intelligence by Henry A. Kissinger, Eric Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher, I found myself unmoved by the prospect of reviewing it. I’ve read dozens of books about A.I., and while the conceit of this one was intriguing — bringing together a 98-year-old diplomat, a former Google chief executive and an M.I.T. professor — the book itself was a fairly forgettable entry in the genre.
Then I got a bright idea. What if I could have an A.I. finish this review, and save myself the trouble?

". . . One of the most inspiring aspects of this book is its scope. The authors delve deeply into the potential of AI in all areas of human enterprise. They describe the impact of AI on health care, economics, geopolitics, law, urban development, governance, journalism, the military and even the life sciences.
Kissinger, Schmidt and Huttenlocher are not afraid to explore the darkest side of AI, either. They are clear-eyed about the ways that AI could enable dictators to monitor their citizens and manipulate information to incite people to commit violence.
Although AI is already making our lives better in many ways, Kissinger, Schmidt and Huttenlocher caution that it will take us as a species many years to create a system as powerful as we deserve. They wisely suggest that we not lose sight of the values we want to instill in this new machine intelligence.
