The Questions

- What increasingly common term describes the anxiety surrounding the potential negative consequences of artificial intelligence?
- What dual identity has historically defined Germany’s self-perception, influencing its current shift in military policy?
Did You Know? A Shakespearean Curse
And by the way, did you know that Shakespeare’s grave doesn’t bear his name? Instead, it features a rather stern warning. the engraving reads, “Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare, / To dig the dust enclosed here. / blessed be the man that spares these stones, / And cursed be he that moves my bones.”
Interestingly, evidence suggests the curse wasn’t entirely effective. Ground-penetrating radar in 2016 indicated Shakespeare’s skull is almost certainly missing. Researchers could investigate further,but would you risk invoking the centuries-old curse?

- p(doom). Whether you call it that specifically or not, you’ve likely considered the probability of AI-related catastrophe. This underlying anxiety is already a significant part of AI’s legacy, and the technology’s constant evolution only amplifies it.
