Modern Life, Steps forward in AI and UBI or not…
As I sit here pondering MIT Technology review and the long summer break, I realise that life comes with many twists and turns I ponder the last decade.
So much has happened, and no matter what you say about your personal life not affecting your working life it does…if you are in a happy relationship and not wanting to dig into divorce then skip to the news about AI and UBI Below…
This week I released a video on my personal channel with Ehsan Khodarahmi “NAVIGATING DIVORCE: A COMPASSIONATE PERSPECTIVE” – important to think about as divorce is way more prevalent today than say 50 years ago…if you know anyone going through this please recommend it to them here’s the video link: https://www.youtube.com/live/IDAmnLyMy5E?si=cD0GSJTR7FJ34tuB
Google DeepMind’s AI systems has been improving…
AI has traditionally excelled at tasks like writing essays but struggled with complex math problems requiring logical reasoning. However, Google DeepMind’s new AI systems, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2, are a game-changer. They’ve achieved a groundbreaking feat by solving several problems from the prestigious International Mathematical Olympiad, demonstrating a remarkable ability to understand and solve complex mathematical challenges. This breakthrough is a significant step forward for AI, potentially leading to new collaborations between humans and AI in the field of mathematics and beyond.
Two renowned mathematicians, Tim Gowers and Joseph Myers, checked the systems’ submissions. They awarded each of their four correct answers full marks (seven out of seven), giving the systems a total of 28 points out of a maximum of 42. A human participant earning this score would be awarded a silver medal and just miss out on gold, the threshold for which starts at 29 points.

The results from Sam Alman’s UBI (Universal Basic Income) experiment are in.
Sam Altman’s UBI experiment yielded mixed results. While providing $1,000 a month to low-income individuals improved their overall well-being, increased financial stability, and job satisfaction, it didn’t significantly impact overall health. Recipients were more selective in their job choices, prioritizing personal fulfilment over higher pay, which could lead to labour supply challenges.
Despite these complexities, the study underscores the potential of UBI as a tool for poverty reduction and increased economic opportunity. However, it also highlights the need for a comprehensive approach addressing systemic barriers to healthcare and economic inequality.
While Altman is a proponent of UBI, concerns about its potential impact on the economy and labour market persist. Read more here.
