    • The Golden State Warriors are a perfect 4-0 in the playoffs since they lost Kevin Durant to a calf injury in the second round. (They’re 5-0 if you count the game in which Durant suffered that injury.) Few teams could survive losing their most talented star, let alone the best player in the league, but Golden State has done more than just scrape by. In Durant’s absence, the Warriors have looked like … well, they’ve looked like the Warriors. Saturday’s 110-99 win against the Portland Trail Blazers was a fine showcase of their recent form, wherein the ball pings around on offense and everyone appears to be having a blast.

    This success has created a bit of an awkward situation. Durant is at once the most dominant offensive player on Earth and the league’s most sensitive superstar. The two-time NBA Finals MVP once engaged in an Instagram flame war with a teenager, and his alleged use of Twitter burner accounts will be given a full chapter when the history of social media meltdowns is written. If anyone is bound to take notice of the internet’s gleeful appreciation of the Durant-less Warriors, it’s Kevin Durant. After Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, Durant appears to have done what he does best.

    — Back Pain Kerr (@PrimeNickKerr) May 19, 2019 The comment from Durant, who goes by @easymoneysniper on Instagram, has since been deleted, but the hundreds of responses that flew in provide strong evidence of its authenticity (and of the fact that he got mad online). There are plenty of people who say terrible things about Durant on the internet, so it’s anyone’s guess as to why he would focus on someone who has only 23 followers and didn’t say anything particularly pointed or mean. Nevertheless, I’m thrilled Durant tapped his fingers in this direction. In doing so, he has given the world a wonderful new turn of phrase: “very divisive mikey.” [Read More]

    Tomorrow's ‘general’ AI revolution will grow from today's technology

    In today's pop culture, machines with artificial general intelligence (AGI) are typically portrayed as walking, talking human analogs replete with personalities -- from the Terminator's murderous intent to Vision's noble heroism. In reality, self-aware robots are a long way off. Nathan Michael, associate research professor and the director of the Resilient Intelligent Systems Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, argues that generalized AI systems will grow out from today's single-purpose "narrow" AIs. "General AI is representative of this concept of bringing together many different kinds of specialized AI," he explained. AGI isn't so much a singular standalone system -- it's no digital Athena bursting forth from Zeus' forehead -- but rather a threshold of capability derived from a collection of narrow AI's working together, Michael said. He likens it to a baby. When a person is born, they don't possess a proper consciousne...
