Why AI’s Progress Might Destroy Its Own Future. Go to https://surfshark.com/undecided or use code UNDECIDED at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN! You’ve seen the headlines. The viral demos. AI writing essays, generating photorealistic images, even creating entire videos. But something much more important is happening behind the scenes. AI is solving problems we thought were decades away, curing diseases and inventing new materials. But there’s a paradox. Because this same AI revolution that’s supposedly going to create incredible wealth for companies, might be laying the groundwork for an economic collapse that threatens the very progress it’s helping to create.
A must watch is TED-Ed’s, “How Will AI Change the World” • How will AI change the world?

How do you get people – including yourself – to do what you want?! Meeting expectations or changing habits is hard – whether it’s New Year’s resolutions or deadlines at work. But, as bestselling author Gretchen Rubin explains, it’s a lot easier if you know which of four main ‘tendencies’ you have. Once you know your tendency (or that of those you manage or co-habit with!) it’s much easier to make change possible.

Enfermés chacun dans leur appartement, des voisins racontent à la caméra les petits tracas de la vie en communauté. Petit à petit, quand tout s’empile, il y a de quoi devenir fou.
Locked up in their own apartments, some neighbors tell the camera about the little troubles of life in a community. Little by little, when everything piles up, it’s enough to drive one mad.
