Tucker: This has unleashed something dark in the US

FOX News

Fox News host gives his take Zelenskyy's latest idea and provides insight on the biolabs in Ukraine on'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' This is a rush transcript from "Tucker Carlson Tonight," March 14, 2022. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. Here is something we just saw. I wish we brought it to you earlier. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, of course, gave an interview recently that didn't get enough attention in this country. Zelenskyy needless to say, is currently engaged in a desperate fight for his country, his government, his life, and he has been since the Russian military invaded Ukraine nearly three weeks ago. So you can assume there is not a lot Zelenskyy thinks about at this point, apart from getting the Russians off of Ukrainian soil. So last week, Zelenskyy floated the idea of accepting so-called Ukrainian neutrality, agreeing not to join NATO; in exchange for that, he will get a Russian withdrawal from Ukraine. Now, there is nothing inherently controversial about Zelenskyy's idea. Ukraine was not on the cusp of joining NATO, anyway. NATO officials have long said they don't want Ukraine to join. It is not clear whose interest would be served by Ukraine joining NATO. So if accepting the status quo, going with the way things already were and were always going to be, if doing that convinces Putin to stop killing Ukrainians, and spares Ukraine from total and complete destruction, maybe it's not a crazy idea, maybe Zelenskyy is onto something, he certainly thought about it a lot. Maybe we ought to congratulate Zelenskyy for acting wisely on behalf of the country he leads. This could be a win for him and for the entire world. Probably not a lot of American media outlets will describe it that way; however.


AI ethics – how do we make "good" AI, and use AI ethically?

#artificialintelligence

How we can make "good" artificial intelligence, what does it mean for a machine to be ethical, and how can we use AI ethically? Good in the Machine – 2019's SCINEMA International Science Film Festival entry – delves into these questions, the origins of our morality, and the interplay between artificial agency and our own moral compass. Read on to learn more about AI ethics. Given a swell of dire warnings about the future of artificial intelligence over the last few years, the field of AI ethics has become a hive of activity. These warnings come from a variety of experts such as Oxford University's Nick Bostrom, but also from more public figures such as Elon Musk and the late Stephen Hawking.


Five Principles for Thinking Like a Futurist

#artificialintelligence

Thinking about the future allows us to imagine what kind of future we want to live in and how we can get there. In 2018 we celebrated the fifty-year anniversary of the founding of the Institute for the Future (IFTF). No other futures organization has survived for this long; we've actually survived our own forecasts! In these five decades we learned a lot, and we still believe--even more strongly than before--that systematic thinking about the future is absolutely essential for helping people make better choices today, whether you are an individual or a member of an educational institution or government organization. We view short-termism as the greatest threat not only to organizations but to society as a whole. In my twenty years at the Institute, I've developed five core principles for futures thinking: If somebody tells you they can predict the future, don't believe them. Nobody can predict large socio-technical transformations and what exactly these are going to look like. We are getting better at making point predictions.


Deep Learning Simplified: Feel and Talk like an Expert in Neural Networks

#artificialintelligence

The most recent breakthrough in deep learning research comes from OpenAI with two astonishing transformers -- GPT-3 and DALL-E [6], the former being an AI novelist and poet and the latter an AI designer and artist. With GPT-3 you can start a novel or a poem with a few sentences or paragraphs and ask the model to complete it. DALL-E model transforms text into many images.


How disruption can lead to innovation in how you conduct your business

When Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings launched the world's first online DVD-rental service in California in 1997, it was far from the behemoth that Netflix is today. Customers had fewer than 1,000 titles to choose from, and they had to pay separately for every DVD they rented. The founders nearly sold the company to Amazon for around US$15 million, and when they tried to sell it to Blockbuster forUS$50 million a few years later, Blockbuster's CEO was reported to have said to Netflix, "The dotcom hysteria is completely overblown." Fast forward two decades, and the company now has more than 200 million subscribers around the world and more than US$20 billion in annual revenue. The simple answer is'reinvention' – a requirement that can present itself to any business, but which not all business leaders have the courage or forethought to embrace.


Deepfakes Can Help Families Mourn--or Exploit Their Grief

WIRED

We now have the ability to reanimate the dead. Improvements in machine learning over the past decade have given us the ability to break through the fossilized past and see our dearly departed as they once were: talking, moving, smiling, laughing. Though deepfake tools have been around for some time, they've become increasingly available to the general public in recent years, thanks to products like Deep Nostalgia--developed by ancestry site My Heritage--that allow the average person to breathe life back into those they've lost. Despite their increased accessibility, these technologies generate controversy whenever they're used, with critics deeming the moving images--so lifelike yet void of life--"disturbing," "creepy," and "admittedly queasy." In 2020, when Kanye got Kim a hologram of her late father for her birthday, writers quickly decried the gift as a move out of Black Mirror.
