GODFATHER OF AI ON PBS LAST NIGHT: "HOW CAN I SAY THIS... MAYBE A CORRUPT SENILE FELON IN THE WHITE HOUSE." HE THINKS CHINA'S POLITBURO GETS THE AI RISK BETTER THAN THE US, AND THE TWO WON'T TEAM UP FOR 2 YEARS. On AI, Geoffrey Hinton is someone you can trust. He won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for the research behind today's AI. Last summer he went to Shanghai and talked to one of Xi's protégés at the top of the Communist Party. His words on Firing Line: "I believe the Politburo understands this stuff much better than the U.S. government." Hinton wants Washington and Beijing to work together so superintelligence doesn't take over. Then he explained why that has to wait: "It won't happen while we still have a, how can I say this, maybe a corrupt senile felon in the White House. So it's not going to happen for two years." The host grinned. Do you agree with the Godfather of AI?
