Sorry for being a day late! This week got away from me. But here it is…
1. Interview clip I saw this week that got me thinking…
Paul Tudor Jones is an “American billionaire hedge fund manager, conservationist and philanthropist.” He is an expert in managing risk. I saw a short clip of a portion of an interview he did on CNBC where he expressed his concern for artificial intelligence. AI will clearly have significant benefits… but it CAN be catastrophic. He was at a tech conference with a small number (40) of highly influential people, including four of the leading modelers of the AI models that we are all using today. One thing that really caught my attention in the interview… the group was presented with propositions and asked if they agree or disagree. One of the propositions was… There is a 10% chance, in the next 20 years, that AI will kill 50% of humanity. ALL FOUR of those leading AI modelers AGREED with this statement. YIKES! Watch that 6-minute video clip below.
2. Father’s Day wishes and quote to go with it…
Happy Father’s Day to all fellow fathers. I have always felt a very strong responsibility, as well as immense honor and gratitude, as a father. I also feel very blessed to have had the father I had. I hope all fathers have a great Father’s Day! I did see a quote that made me laugh. Here it is…
“By the time a man realizes that his father was probably right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.”
-Charles Wadsworth
3. A bias I learned about this week…
We search very hard for clues, techniques, and habits to help ensure greater success. I recently saw an interesting post about something called survivorship bias. It reminded me how many variables and intricacies there are when it comes to human behavior and success. I took a screen shot of the post and you can see it below. It explains survivorship bias pretty well. You can also click here for a BBC article that goes into greater detail. If you’d rather watch a video about it, click here for that BBC article and watch the 3-minute video at the top of the article. If nothing else, check out the post below for the quick explanation, which is what introduced me to survivorship bias.
