2. Technological Innovation and Control:

• Analyze the duality of technological advancements from QRNGs to medical micro-robots. Reflect on how these innovations enhance convenience and security but also raise questions about who controls these new capabilities and their broader societal impacts.

3. AI and the Future of Learning:

• Evaluate the debate between large language models and reinforcement learning. Consider Richard Sutton’s argument that LLMs may be a dead end and how reinforcement learning’s interaction with the real world could redefine our understanding of machine intelligence and adaptability.

Join us in contemplating these pressing issues and the unseen systems that quietly reshape our world, urging a balance between excitement for innovation and critical awareness of its consequences.
