CrashCourse

Show Notes

Hank introduces us to the relatively new field of evolutionary developmental biology, which compares the developmental processes of different organisms to determine their ancestral relationship and to discover how those processes evolved. Also, fruit flies with eyes on their legs and chickens with teeth!References:http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/5/47http://blog.hmns.org/?tag=evo-devohttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/what-evo-devo.htmlhttp://www.hoxfulmonsters.com/2008/05/setting-the-stage-for-hox-genes/http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evodevo_05http://lepdata.org/monteiro/Evo-devo%20pdfs/Halder_et_al_1995.pdfhttp://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5230538Table of Contents1) EVO/DEVO - 00:512) Developmental Regulatory Genes - 2:003) Gap Genes - 2:394) Homeobox / HOX Genes - 2:505) Messed-Up Experiment - 6:166) EVO/DEVO & Evolution - 7:26a) Chickens with teeth - 8:14Crash Course is on Patreon!

According to the UN, people living in urban places now outnumber those in rural areas — which is a pretty new phenomenon for many parts of the world. So today, we’re going to discuss factors that have led to this shift in populations from rural to urban residences (known as urbanization), and we’ll examine the historical and structural systems, like colonialism and Central Place Theory, that have influenced the cities we see today.

Way back in the 1930s, Alan Turing gave us a glimpse of the power of computers with a hypothetical machine that, he said, could solve any computable problem. But that was nonsense…right?Well thanks to recursive progress, maybe not. In this episode, we’ll explore how humans (and computers) make progress, and try to find out just how powerful AI could become. About This Series:AI is changing FAST so rather than doing a full Crash Course series of 12+ episodes, we’ve prepared a mini-series of just the basics. Crash Course will never tell you what to think and we’re not the type of organization that responds to breaking news in real time. Instead, we’re here to offer a zoomed-out foundation upon which to base your own opinions as you continue to learn from other outlets about the world that’s changing around us.Crash Course: Futures of AI will cover:-What even is AI? What’s the history of this thing and how quickly has it evolved to what exists today?-How could AI transform society? Will AI cause the next Industrial Revolution, and what might that mean for workers and the environment?-How powerful could AI become? How do we measure the progression of AI? What are the consequences we’re already seeing, and what might be the future consequences of unchecked AI development?-How might powerful AI cause harm? We’ll touch on copyright infringement, misinformation, surveillance, authoritarianism, and (unfortunately,) more. -How could AI be governed? What are the potential approaches for controlling AI both nationally and internationally?P.S. Wondering if we used AI to create this series? Nope! Every Complexly video is lovingly, painstakingly human-made.Intro 00:00Chapter 1: Progress is recursive 00:57Chapter 2: Google AlphaEvolve 02:08Chapter 3: Superintelligence 06:58Chapter 4: How close are we to superintelligence /actually/? 9:53Conclusion 11:50Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16br0e73KFVD5qu-VEBV40yQTpBiX0l65EgWQ6Q7Fz-k/edit?usp=sharing***Support us for $5/month on Patreon to keep Crash Course free for everyone forever! https://www.patreon.com/crashcourseOr support us directly: https://complexly.com/supportJoin our Crash Course email list to get the latest news and highlights: https://mailchi.mp/crashcourse/emailGet our special Crash Course Educators newsletter: http://eepurl.com/iBgMhYThanks to the following patrons for their generous monthly contributions that help keep Crash Course free for everyone forever:DexcilaDou, Martin G.
