Former Google Engineer Has Started Creating An “AI God”

By

The above paragraph sounds like a pretty interesting profile for a techie. Well, hold your horses, things are going to get a lot more exciting.

Levandowski has founded a religious organization named Way of the Future. As per the state filings, its purpose is to “develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence.”
According to an in-depth Backchannel profile, Levandowski is the Way of the Future’s CEO and President. However, the organization is yet to submit filings with the IRS to qualify as a tax-exempt religious organization. Still, Levandowski appears to be building his own God that will encourage people to worship AI for the “betterment of society.”
It’s not hidden that in the past, technologists and scientists like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have warned us about the risks of AI. I’m pretty sure that they won’t be happy to know about the new AI God.
But, what about you? Are you going to worship an artificially intelligent bot-god created by Way of the Future? Don’t forget to share your views with us.

Ambode’s Michael Jackson syndrome

By
GOVERNOR Akinwunmi Ambode’s urban renewal policy is fundamentally flawed. For one, it strives to recast a Nigerian city in Parisian or Washingtonian mold. Secondly, it fails to realise that Lagos does not have to look like Paris, New York or Washington DC to be a beautiful, functional and livable city. A city is not just an agglomeration of buildings, streets and public spaces cobbled together by architectural, engineering and urban planning standards. A city captures, encapsulates and expresses the totality of a people’s way of life. Not surprisingly, Western European cities have a similar character, a character that is different from (for example) Asian cities.

You wake up, it’s dark and you’re lying in a pool. You don’t remember how you got here. You stand up, stretch your aching limbs, walk towards the exit and out into the brilliant sunshine. As your eyes adjust to the light, the world comes slowly into focus – and it is
