How Artificial Intelligence and the robotic revolution will change the workplace of tomorrow
Posted by Alireza Mokri in categories: biotech/medical, economics, education, employment, finance, habitats, law, robotics/AI
The workplace is going to look drastically different ten years from now. The coming of the Second Machine Age is quickly bringing massive changes along with it. Manual jobs, such as lorry driving or house building are being replaced by robotic automation, and accountants, lawyers, doctors and financial advisers are being supplemented and replaced by high level artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
So what do we need to learn today about the jobs of tomorrow? Two things are clear. The robots and computers of the future will be based on a degree of complexity that will be impossible to teach to the general population in a few short years of compulsory education. And some of the most important skills people will need to work with robots will not be the things they learn in computing class.

A CEO explains why he doesn’t care about your résumé, your alma mater, or your last job when he’s looking to hire
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: business, education, finance
For United Shore CEO Mat Ishbia, it’s not about what you know.
Ishbia says that specific skills, such as salesmanship, graphic design, or programming, can be taught. Those don’t guarantee whether or not a candidate will succeed at the Troy, Michigan-based financial services business.
“I don’t care about your résumé,” Ishbia says. “I don’t care about what school you went to. I don’t care about what you did at your last company.”

Antonopolous Clarifies Blockchain’s Profound Leap

I use to hate it when my dad insisted that I read something longer than 2 paragraphs. (Something related to his interests, but not to my school work, his career or our family). That’s because it shouldn’t require a 30 minute read to determine if it piques my interest, as it does his.

But I am asking Lifeboat readers to invest 37 minutes in the video linked below. Even if you give it just 5 minutes, it will provide sufficient motive for you to stick around until the end. [continue below video]
I want you view it because we are on the threshold of something bigger than many people realize. Bitcoin and the blockchain is not just a new currency or a way of distributing books among network users. We are becoming involved with a radical experiment in applied game theory that is shockingly simple, but nascent. Opportunities abound, and the individuals who recognize those opportunities or learn to exploit them will benefit themselves as they benefit the global community. Because it is so radical (and because it clashes with deeply ingrained beliefs about authority, control mechanisms, democracy and money), it seems complex and risky—but it’s really not.

Quantum Mechanics, Modern Physics and the Baha’i Teachings
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: education, quantum physics, singularity
On route to Singularity with Bahai.
When I reflect on the Baha’i teachings, which stunningly prefigure many of the discoveries of modern physics, I see an interesting pattern.
As a physicist, I’ve noticed that most of the clearest scientific expressions and explanations in the Baha’i teachings come from the writings and talks of Abdu’l-Baha. Looking carefully, those explanations usually trace back to the original concept provided by Baha’u’llah. However, ultimately Abdu’l-Baha seems uniquely capable of pulling these concepts out, explaining them in clear, modern language, and rendering them intelligible to us—or at least to me.

In the age of robots, our schools are teaching children to be redundant
Posted by Alireza Mokri in categories: education, robotics/AI
Recently, I saw an article making big deal that a robot can now write. Ok, it only took us 253 years to enhance it a little. Meet the Automaton from Sweden that could write and was designed to look like a young boy. Made in 1774 and still writes today.
We had Automaton that did this since 1774. 1st one was from Sweden and made in 1775.

Melinda and Bill Gates’s Letter to Warren Buffett Reveals the One Thing Successful People Value Most
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: economics, education, health
Bill and Melinda Gates say “the future will surprise the pessimists.”
They discovered childhood mortality is a symptom of other issues
Children’s deaths are often a result of lack of birth control, gender inequality, and poor women’s health. Melinda wrote, “Virtually all advances in society—nutrition, education, access to contraceptives, gender equity, economic growth—show up as gains in the childhood mortality chart, and every gain in this chart shows up in gains for society.”
