For the fourth featured video of the day, I’ve picked CGP Grey’s

Humans Need Not Apply

Created by the analytical and political master of Youtube, CGP Grey, Humans Need Not Apply is an admittedly terrifying and incredibly interesting video on how humans are doomed to be one day pushed out of the way by robots. We don’t recognize it now, as the best robots we have currently rely heavily on outside human control and monitoring. But as AI advances, there may become a point in time where robots are just more useful that humans in every field. And as CGP Grey explains, with an analogy of horses, that’s not necessarily a good thing. There may become a time, in the far off future, where we become something resembling…

The Borg. *shudder*

(just a joke for all you Star Trek fans out there)

But seriously, as CGP Grey points out, we have to prepared for what’s to come. And with technology increasing in quality and power so rapidly, that time may be something we don’t have. 40 years ago, computers didn’t even exist in any useful consumer form. 40 years from now, who knows where humans and computers will stand?
