This path aims towards two, equally important objectives: getting the skills most desired in the foreseeable future (which is rather short in data science) and developing the abilities necessary to become independent and evolvable enough to adjust to changes that may come your way (with probability 99%). Exploration vs Exploitation ?

Modern science began with the work of Newton and Descartes. Maxwell, Poincare, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Bohr, Plank and Einstein all used math to build on Boltzmann’s work. In fact, the history of science is in large part the history of new mathematics validating new fundamentals in science. Science now focused on the invisible.

Most of them don't work for the nonprofit (they have other jobs). They meet every few months.

And everyone has opinions about how these language models and art generation programs are going to change the nature of work, usher in the singularity, or perhaps even doom the human race. 26% have been working with AI for under a year. 16% of respondents working with AI are using open source models. What’s the reality?

I first argued that this sort of catastrophe would be likely without specific countermeasures to prevent it.

What about future AIs with more human-like abilities ?
