There's no denying data centers play a critical role in society, with every text, web search and medical scan flowing through these giant buildings. Now AI has turbocharged their demand, along with the electricity that powers them. With utilities rushing to keep up and popular opposition to these behemoths growing, the latest tech revolution may be in for a rough ride.

My First Million is a HubSpot Original Podcast // Brought to you by HubSpot Media // Production by Arie Desormeaux // Editing by Ezra Bakker Trupiano

Since Nick Bostrom wrote Superintelligence, AI has surged from theoretical speculation to powerful, world-shaping reality. Progress is undeniable, yet there is an ongoing debate in the AI safety community – caught between mathematical rigor and swiss-cheese security. P(doom) debates rage on, but equally concerning is the risk of locking in negative-value futures for a very long time.

Zooming in: motivation selection-especially indirect normativity-raises the question: is there a structured landscape of possible value configurations, or just a chaotic search for alignment?

From Superintelligence to Deep Utopia: not just avoiding catastrophe but ensuring resilience, meaning, and flourishing in a 'solved' world; a post instrumental, plastic utopia – where humans are 'deeply redundant', can we find enduring meaning and purpose?

This is our moment to shape the future. What values will we encode? What futures will we entrench?

Is artificial intelligence about to take your job? According to Daniel Kokotajlo, the executive director of the A.I. Futures Project, that should be the least of your worries. Kokotajlo was once a researcher for OpenAI, but left after losing confidence in the company’s commitment to A.I. safety. This week, he joins Ross Douthat to talk about “AI 2027,” a series of predictions and warnings about the risks A.I. poses to humanity in the coming years, from radically transforming the economy to developing armies of robots.

The arrival of non-human intelligence is a very big deal, says former Google CEO and chairman Eric Schmidt. In a wide-ranging interview with technologist Bilawal Sidhu, Schmidt makes the case that AI is wildly underhyped, as near-constant breakthroughs give rise to systems capable of doing even the most complex tasks on their own. He explores the staggering opportunities, sobering challenges and urgent risks of AI, showing why everyone will need to engage with this technology in order to remain relevant.

#melanesia #papua #blackhistory This video is about the Bougainville people of Papua New Guinea. They are Melanesian people.
Our ancestors were some of the first people to leave Africa, way back when. They were part of a group called the Australo-Melanesians, and they traveled across Southeast Asia, eventually settling here in what we now call Near Oceania, which includes Bougainville. That was tens of thousands of years ago—archaeological evidence from places like Kilu Cave on Buka Island, just north of us, shows that people have been here for at least 29,000 years. These early settlers brought with them the genes for dark skin, which was crucial for surviving in places with intense sunlight, just like in Africa.
You see, here in Bougainville, the sun is incredibly strong all year round because we’re close to the equator. Our dark skin, which has a lot of melanin, acts like a natural sunscreen. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color, and in our case, it’s mostly eumelanin, which makes our skin very dark. This protects us from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Too much UV exposure can destroy important vitamins in our body, like folate, which is essential for having healthy babies, and it can also cause skin cancer. So, over time, the people with darker skin were more likely to survive and have children, passing on those dark skin genes. It’s nature’s way of helping us adapt to our environment.
But our story doesn’t stop there. About 3,000 years ago, another group of people called the Austronesians came to our islands. They were from further north and probably had lighter skin. They brought with them new languages and cultures, and we mixed with them. You can see that influence in our languages and traditions today. But even though we intermingled, our dark skin remained a dominant feature. Maybe because the environment here still favored dark skin, or perhaps our genes for dark skin were just really strong. Either way, our skin stayed dark, and it’s a big part of who we are.
Scientists have been studying our genes to understand more about why we look the way we do. For example, some of us have blond hair, which is pretty unique for people with dark skin. It turns out that’s because of a special gene found only in our part of the world—it’s not the same as the blond hair gene in Europeans. This shows that we’ve evolved in our own way here in the Pacific. While there hasn’t been a specific study on our skin color yet, it’s likely that there are particular genes that make our skin so dark, genes that have been passed down and kept strong because they help us thrive in this sunny environment.
We’ve also been somewhat isolated on these islands for a long time, which might have helped keep our skin color consistent. Unlike places where there was a lot of mixing with lighter-skinned populations, our ancestors didn’t have as much of that, so our dark skin traits stayed prominent. Plus, in our culture, dark skin has always been seen as beautiful and desirable. We believe beauty is in the eye of the island—and for us, darker skin has always been admired and respected. There’s a pride in our appearance, and it’s possible that this cultural preference influenced who people chose to marry, keeping those dark skin genes strong in our communities. It’s something we’ve always valued.
Now, some people might think that because our skin is dark like Africans’, we must be more closely related to them than other groups. But that’s not the case. All humans outside Africa come from groups that left Africa tens of thousands of years ago. The reason our skin is dark is because we live in a place with lots of sun, just like Africa. It’s an example of how similar environments can lead to similar adaptations, even in different parts of the world. Meanwhile, people who moved to places with less sun, like Europe, developed lighter skin over time to help their bodies make vitamin D. But since we stayed in a sunny place, we kept our dark skin—it’s what works best here.
It’s not just a physical trait; it’s a testament to our history and our connection to this land. We’re proud of it, and it’s a big part of what makes us Bougainvilleans.
Each morning, as the first light glimmers on the waters of the Solomon Sea, we feel our ancestors’ gift coursing through our veins—blackness as beacon, guiding our footsteps through fields of sorghum and along forest trails alike. In markets and village squares, against the tides of colorism and erasure that sometimes swell even among ourselves, we stand rooted in pride, drawing resilience from tenacious hearts that refused to kneel.

I honestly don’t know how I should be educating my kids. A.I. has raised a lot of questions for schools. Teachers have had to adapt to the most ingenious cheating technology ever devised. But for me, the deeper question is: What should schools be teaching at all? A.I. is going to make the future look very different. How do you prepare kids for a world you can’t predict?

And if we can offload more and more tasks to generative A.I., what’s left for the human mind to do?

Rebecca Winthrop is the director of the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution. She is also an author, with Jenny Anderson, of “The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better.” We discuss how A.I. is transforming what it means to work and be educated, and how our use of A.I. could revive — or undermine — American schools.

Stuart Russell is a pioneer in artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning who wrote the authoritative text on AI. He is professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California, Berkeley. His research covers a wide range of topics in AI and machine learning, with a core focus on ensuring that humans can always maintain power over AI systems that grow to be more powerful than ourselves.

Russell′s book Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach is the standard textbook for students of the subject. It has been
translated into 14 languages and is used in over 1500 universities in more than 130 countries. He argues we can avoid this fate and peacefully coexist with machines smarter than us, but it requires a complete overhaul to the way we think about and build AI systems.

Stuart is a vocal advocate for AI safety. He has expressed concerns that we′re creating powerful AI faster than we′re learning to control it and was one of the signatories of the March 2023 open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on AI development.
Russell serves as co-chair of the World Economic Forum′s Council on AI, co-chair of the OECD Expert Group on AI Futures, and US representative at the Global Partnership for AI.Stuart is a member of the inaugural TIME100 AI cohort, honoring the most influential people in the field, In 2021. #ai #stuartrussell, #futureindustry

Despite having almost 20% of the global population, Africa's 54 countries collectively account for less than 3% of global GDP. Africa however has an extremely young population and by 2075, one out of every three people will be African. The continent has vast economic potential but it must face down several challenges. It needs to end endemic poverty, strengthen its collective economy, keep the value of its resources at home and create meaningful jobs for its people. Can Africa do it? Business Beyond considers its chances.

Sam Altman reflects on OpenAI’s evolution from a 14-person research lab to a dominant AI platform. He envisions transforming ChatGPT into a deeply personal AI service that remembers your entire life's context—from conversations to emails—while working seamlessly across all services. Drawing from how younger users already treat AI as an operating system rather than just a search tool, Sam describes a future where a single, efficient model can reason across your full history without retraining, fundamentally changing how we interact with technology in our daily lives.

China is one of the world's oldest civilizations. It has been a great power in the past and aspires to become a global superpower in the future. Today’s China it is still grappling with traumas that go back to the 19th century. Back then China sold silk, tea and porcelain to the British Empire, but hardly bought any British goods. To balance its trade with China, the British smuggled Indian opium into Chinese ports, which immediately increased demand for the drug and brought detrimental effects to the Chinese economy and the population. The Emperor's protests did not prevent the British Empire from forcing through the legalization of opium in China after waging two wars. Japan also surprised and devastated the country in what is known as the Century of Humiliation. From then until today, China has focused on steering its destiny and disarming its rivals.

AI coding agents are no longer a distant idea—they're already starting to reshape how we work.

YC's Tom Blomfield and David Lieb discuss how AI coding tools are transforming software development, why small, high-agency teams will be able to do what once took armies of engineers, and why there's never been a better time to start something new. They explore the bigger picture too: a future where there's more abundance, knowledge work becomes more accessible, and founders have more leverage than ever before.

If you're thinking about building, there's no better moment than right now.
