quote [ What would happen if you fell into a black hole? Join James Beacham, particle physicist at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, as he explores what happens when the fabric of reality ? physical or societal ? gets twisted beyond recognition.
James Beacham searches for answers to the biggest open questions of physics using the largest experiment ever, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He hunts for dark matter, gravitons, quantum black holes, and dark photons as a member of the ATLAS collaboration, one of the teams that discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. ] This was AMAZING! What a freaking talk. My head almost exploded around 20 minutes in! Really worth the watch.

quote [ Artificial intelligence and machine learning are still too dumb to do engineering, but that's OK - so am I! The goal: Craft a robot intern that tells lies, steals code, and works for free. I borrowed a Misty II robot, added an insult generator, and hooked her up to one of the most powerful open-source text-generation models ever built. Everything goes wrong, and today there's more everything than usual. ]
