Humanity Hacked!?
Professor and author Yuval Harari is warning that humans will be “hacked” if artificial intelligence is not globally regulated, now. “Netflix tells us what to watch and Amazon tells us what to buy. Eventually within 10 or 20 or 30 years such algorithms could also tell you what to study at college and where to work and whom to marry and even whom to vote for,” says Harari.
I don’t know if you’ve been watching the news but It seems like we’ve been hacked.

Sports Celebs Went All Out to Celebrate Halloween This Year
Lots of celebrities dressed up this year- Harry Styles as Dorothy got lots of attention for his Dorothy look. Lizzo, Doja, Lil Nas and Trevor Noah got love. But the sports stars seemed to get more into Halloween than usual this year with LeBron James as Freddy Krueger, Russell Westbrook as Chucky Jake Paul and his girlfriend as Dana White with his “hookers and cocaine,” for starters.
But the question on everyone’s mind was all about Aaron. The GB Packers QB had been teasing that he’s been growing out his hair for a year for his epic costume and it was all about John Wick.
What? No one went as Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian?
Watching Lizzo party as Yoda tonight has left me deceased ⚰️ #SpotifyHalloween pic.twitter.com/sBMbNXHlim
