All right, guys. The man who helped build AI used his Nobel speech to warn us about it.

That’s Geoffrey Hinton. His research helped make tools like ChatGPT possible, and he shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics.

That sounds scary. But I’m not here to scare you. Don’t panic. Stay informed, and keep a human (you) in the loop. Here’s how.

🎁 What you’ll get

  • 🎙️ What Hinton actually warned about, in plain English
