Scientist Says Superhuman AI May Eliminate Humanity; Joe Rogan Just Issued a Warning About Artificial Intelligence — After a Fake Version of His Podcast Was Created 100% Through AI Technology
By Popular Mechanics. Geoffrey Hinton has been working on artificial intelligence for over 40 years. Now, as we are watching the technology rapidly evolve, he tells CBS News there’s cause for concern.
Regarding the odds of AI wiping out humanity, Hinton says it’s “not inconceivable, that’s all I’ll say.”
Don’t panic just yet, though. That potential—even if it’s only “not inconceivable”—to wipe out humanity doesn’t lie with AI along the lines of ChatGPT. It references what is known as “general artificial intelligence,” which is the kind where AI can truly act on its own accord.
“Until quite recently, I thought it was going to be like 20 to 50 years before we have general purpose AI,” Hinton tells CBS News. “And now I think it may be 20 years or less. That’s an issue, right? We have to think hard about how you control that.”
So, according to Hinton, there’s still time to work things out before we need to worry about causing our own demise—even if the tech is evolving faster than anticipated. At the moment, he is more concerned about how we manage a world-changing technology than he is about a potential AI-induced end to humanity. Hinton says that a handful of companies or governments could wield incredible amounts of power with AI technology in their hands.

Joe Rogan Just Issued a Warning About Artificial Intelligence — After a Fake Version of His Podcast Was Created 100% Through AI Technology
By Yahoo Finance. Controversial podcaster Joe Rogan has issued a warning about artificial intelligence after a fake — but very realistic — version of his popular podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ was published online.
The fictional episode — generated with the help of AI chatbot ChatGPT — was published on YouTube on April 4.
It depicts a conversation between Joe Rogan and Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, with a disclaimer that the “ideas and opinions expressed in the podcast are not reflective of [their actual] thoughts.”
“Let me tell you folks, this is some next-level stuff we’ve got going on here today,” the AI-generated Joe Rogan says. “Every single word of this podcast has been generated with the help of ChatGPT…I am not the real Joe Rogan… this is purely fiction.”
The real-life Rogan was ill at ease after the episode dropped. He tweeted: “This is going to get very slippery, kids.”
