Why don’t people convert carbon dioxide into something else to reduce climate change?
How can we be assured that we don’t develop artificial intelligence to the point that some independent entity decides that we humans are THE problem and presses delete?
AI engineers might be doing what engineers do, working in a reductionist way on a discrete part of a problem with the ethical contexts left to someone else. The commercial drive to develop better and better AI should make us all nervous unless we have absolute transparency, ‘commercial-in-confidence’ is not helpful here.

Asked by:Why do we have 5 mins of sport at the end of news instead of 5 mins of arts/culture? How would this change our perception of the world?
Not everyone is into sport. For some, their equivalent is the arts/culture or even the environment. Why are these things considered ‘features’ rather than staples of our news diet? I wonder how society would change if one or two newsrooms started this trend?
Asked by:If a Journalist enters the woods, and doesn’t make a brand for themselves, do they still make a sound?
I’m a journalism student, and I’m sick of being asked to respond to the notion of a ‘brand’. I even had Fairfax present a curriculum as part of my course which spent a week on “brand building”. I find this insufferable, and I’d like to see how other current practitioners and other students feel about this notion. Obviously, change is inevitable, but to what extent are journalists performers, too?
Asked by:Why are people extra nice when it’s your birthday?!
Why do humans tend to get more politically conservative as they get older? (Specifically, my dad).
Asked by:Why are immeasurable, unautomated, irreplacable things (arts, education) valued so little financially?
Because I have a vested interest in both, and I’ve yet to receive a good answer.
