The future of AI
Artificial intelligence is booming. Technology companies are pouring trillions of dollars into research and infrastructure, and millions of people now interact with AI in one form or another. But what is it all for?
To find out, Nature spoke to six people at the forefront of AI development — people who are driving the technology’s development and adoption, and those who are preparing society to adapt to its rapid rise.
In this video series, they describe their greatest ambitions for the technology, their expectations of where and how it will be adopted in the coming years, and their concerns for the future.
Richard Feynman Lecture — “Los Alamos From Below”
There are quite a few copies of this Feynman lecture floating around out there, but most end prior to the question from the audience.
After the lecture, a guy in the audience asks Feynman about his safe-cracking stories and Feynman goes on for about another ten minutes relating three different stories on his safe-cracking while at Los Alamos National Laboratories. Enjoy!

Rubin Observatory peers into the ‘hidden universe’ and discovers stream of stars longer than our entire Milky Way
“We are expecting that when Rubin obtains very deep imaging of galaxies, we will see them surrounded by a faint network of stellar streams,” Romanowsky concluded. “The discovery of the stream shows the excellent characteristics of Rubin for making such observations, and points to a rich future of similar discoveries as vast areas of the sky are mapped out.”
