OpenAI Reshuffles Safety Team, Dow Jones Hits 40k, Blue Brain Project Ambitions, Mysterious Orcas...

OpenAI has recently disbanded its Superalignment team, raising concerns about the company's commitment to AI safety. This team was dedicated to ensuring that artificial general intelligence systems remain aligned with human goals. Despite the departure of key figures like Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, OpenAI continues to integrate safety considerations into its broader research efforts. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has surpassed the 40,000 mark for the first time, driven by easing inflation and significant gains in technology stocks, particularly those associated with artificial intelligence.
The Blue Brain Project aims to create a digital reconstruction of the mammalian brain, starting with the mouse brain, to understand brain structure and function. Despite its achievements, the project faces challenges such as the complexity of simulations and ethical considerations. Additionally, orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar have resumed ramming yachts, puzzling scientists with their behavior. Lastly, we discuss the evolutionary remnants of goosebumps, a vestigial reflex inherited from our animal ancestors.

The speaker is absolutely excellent in his articulation which is so important for non-native English listeners! That´s a big deal, or should I say, achievement, for Perplexity becoming a serious, engaged provider of ai-supported news from the tech, science and cultural worlds. Events and people in these domains make substantial moves in pushing the limits of knowledge, and more important, understanding of our complex world, where creativity and deep understanding are the key currecies!
