It was expensive, controversial, and plagued with images of mushroom clouds, meltdowns, and radioactive disasters. Plants were being shut down, policies were shifting to solar and wind, and nuclear was seemingly on its way to becoming a relic of 20th-century optimism. But here we are in 2025, and guess what? Nuclear energy is back in the spotlight—and this time, it might actually be the hero we need. So, what’s changed? Why are countries pouring billions into new nuclear projects when just a decad...

The short answer? Not really. But that’s not the whole story. Let’s rewind for a second. Not long ago, privacy meant closing your curtains, locking your diary, and keeping your personal life, well… personal. But fast-forward to today, and our lives are increasingly digital. We share what we ate, where we went, who we’re with, and what we’re thinking—all at the tap of a screen. While that might seem harmless, every post, like, and location check-in is another piece of a much bi...

I’d be sunbathing on my private island, sipping smoothies made by a very polite robot named Charles. But alas, here we are—me writing, and you watching or reading—because AI, for all its brilliance, still can’t predict the future. And yes, that includes the next Powerball jackpot.

DeepDive - The Limits of AI - Lottery Tickets and Crystal Balls

Image
  https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/norbert-gostischa/episodes/DeepDive---The-Limits-of-AI---Lottery-Tickets-and-Crystal-Balls-e30phk5 A YouTube video transcript from Norbert “Bob” Gostischa humorously addresses unrealistic expectations of artificial intelligence, particularly its inability to predict random events like lottery numbers. The speaker clarifies that AI excels at pattern recognition within existing data but cannot foresee the future or manage inherently chaotic systems. The discussion covers common wishful thinking about AI, contrasting fantastical requests with its actual capabilities in data analysis and problem-solving. Ultimately, the video emphasizes that AI is a powerful tool but not a magical oracle, and the unpredictability of life has its own value.
