Fellow fedizens! As decreed by https://xkcd.com/843/ some fifteen years ago, it is once again time to spend the morning reading through the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions.

Miss Lenhart stands in front of a blackboard with a laptop in her hand, saying: Okay, middle school students, it’s the first Tuesday in February. This means that by law and custom, we must spend the morning reading through the Wikipedia article List of common misconceptions, so you can spend the rest of your lives being a little less wrong. The guests at every party you’ll ever attend thank us in advance.

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #478: The Dodo.

The dodo was actually intelligent and inedible, contrary to popular belief.
They went extinct mainly due to habitat loss and the introduction of invasive species by explorers, rather than being hunted. It didn't help that they had no fear of humans, like penguins today. They were initially named
"Walghvoghel" meaning "tasteless bird" by early Dutch explorers. And as members of the family Columbidae, which includes pigeons, they were probably of above-average avian intelligence.

As you may know, Friedman is a long-time political columnist for the New York Times, and has written several books on politics and foreign affairs. In the articles in question here, Friedman discusses the urgency of the U.S. and China working together to make Al safe.
International cooperation on Al safety is unquestionably something we should all strive for. The U.S. and China need to find ways to regulate Al to avoid its current and likely future harms, such as deep fakes used for fraud and manipulation, Al bias in decisions, misinformation, surveillance, loss of privacy, and so on.
However, these very real harms are not the only, or even the main focus of Friedman's worries. Instead, he is concerned with imminent "artificial superintelligence-
systems smarter than any human could ever be and with the ability to get smarter on their own."]
Friedman notes that his views on Al mainly come from conversations with his friend Craig Mundie, a former Microsoft executive, and co-author of a
