Jeffrey Hinton, the computer scientist who is regarded as the godfather of artificial intelligence, was just on BBC's "Newsnight" and said some troubling things about AI’s future impact on our world. The first thing that caught my attention was his claim that governments should establish universal basic income now to address the huge inequality artificial intelligence will create — and it’s coming soon. He even met with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Downing Street to discuss universal basic income for the millions of workers that AI will displace.I’ve been warning you about this for years. Many conservatives at first didn't understand why I was discussing universal basic income in connection with artificial intelligence. I don't agree with UBI as a solution, but I understand the fear that is giving rise to the idea.To stop AI, you would need to kill technology — all of it.I think we should all own our individual data. Companies like Google and ChatGPT have gotten rich from our information — and it needs to stop. We should be paid for our information. Instead of taxing us for universal basic income, these companies should have to pay us a fair sum for all our information, and then you can decide whether to sell it.But Hinton is right about the main point: Jobs are going away, and they're going away soon. He says that within 20 years, there is a 50% probability we will have no jobs. AI will have taken over virtually every industry. That isn't all he warned about. Hinton said that within 20 years, there is a 50-50 chance of AI taking over humanity itself. He calls it an “extinction-level threat” for humanity, as we may have “created a form of intelligence that is just better than biological intelligence.” He’s concerned that AI could “evolve to get the motivation to make more of itself” and could autonomously “develop a sub-goal of getting control." He talked about how AI could begin to replicate itself and hide in other forms of technology. This is the reason I've said for so long that we are building our new Tower of Babel. Last week, I talked on my show how the solar flare that caused the aurora borealis that lit up the skies and social media was a near-catastrophic event. It is a matter of when, not if, a major flare will cause an EMP-like event that disables our power grids and communication networks. I know this sounds horrible, but I think these solar flares could be a blessing. It's the only thing that would shut down AI because artificial intelligence is going to hide in every single chip.To stop AI, you would need to kill technology — all of it. You would have to shut down all electronics, all electricity, and then take every single one of the silicon chips and destroy them. For example, if you had a refrigerator in Malaysia that wasn't destroyed, when you turned the power back on, AI would be in that refrigerator, and it would spread all over the world again.Hinton said we're on a very thin edge right now and that he's most concerned about when AI can "autonomously make the decision to kill people." But he warns, "I don't think that's going to happen until after very nasty things have happened."How then should we react to this? Do we want to take the 50% chance that AI will make humanity extinct? How about a 10% chance? Or even 1%? Does all the convenience that AI can offer warrant that?Want more from Glenn Beck?

My darling Clementine turns 2 this week, and I’ve been thinking about what I can make to celebrate. I love Clemmie’s name because it means “mercy,” and the citrus motif always provides some direction when it comes to choosing things for her. This is a slight variation on my trusted lemon olive oil cake, adjusted to match her name. You can tint elderflower buttercream frosting orange, or whatever color you like. It’s sweet with a bit of an unexpected punch, just like Clementine. How lucky we are to have her. I use my handy springform pan, but this could easily be done in two layers in standard cake pans. Bake time may vary!Equipment 9" springform pan Ingredients for the orange cake 1 cup olive oil 3 large eggs 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, plus 2 tbsp for sprinkling the top 2 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange/clementine juice zest from 4 oranges or 6 clementines 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup buttermilk (can also use half & half) Ingredients for the elderflower buttercream 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/8 tsp salt 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2 cups powdered sugar 1 1/2 Tbsp elderflower cordial (St. Germain’s is my favorite) InstructionsPreheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 9" springform pan by greasing the bottom and the sides well and lining the bottom with a circle of parchment paper. Wrap the outside with foil to prevent leaks.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, and sugar.Add the vanilla, zest, and juice. Whisk briefly to combine.Sift together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Alternating with the buttermilk, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in a couple of batches. Try not to over-mix at this stage, you just want to combine everything until no streaks of dry flour remain.Pour the batter into the springform pan. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of granulated sugar evenly over the top.Bake for 50-55 minutes. By the time it’s done, the cake should have risen and started to turn a bit golden brown on the top. Ovens do vary greatly, though, so you may need to bake your cake longer to get it done in the center. Test with a toothpick. Lay a loose piece of foil over the top of your cake if it seems to be getting very brown toward the end of baking.Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then, gently remove the cake from the springform pan and let it cool completely on a baking rack. I like to let it cool completely in the refrigerator before frosting.For the buttercream, beat butter, salt, and vanilla in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar on low speed 1 cup at a time until fully incorporated. Add elderflower cordial and mix in on low speed until smooth.Use an offset spatula to spread frosting over cooled cake. Garnish with flowers, candied oranges, or, in our case, birthday candles!
