But I also feel like they have this prevailing atmosphere to them, that is kind of weird, I don't know how to explain it. Kind of like this idea that, hey I bet you didn't think of that. And then each new TED Talk someone is trying to outdo the previous one. It seems like they invariably go for unpredictability and a certain shock factor.</p> <p><img src="https://static.pexels.com/photos/25758/pexels-photo.jpg" width="3238" height="3882"/><img src="https://static.pexels.com/photos/25758/pexels-photo.jpg" width="3238" height="3882"/></p> <p>Some of the titles are so obvious that the opposite is almost unimaginable. Here are some examples LOL:</p> <p>Don't fear superintelligent AI --> Why you should fear superintelligent AI </p> <p>Doesn't everyone deserve a chance at a good life? --> Why not everyone deserves a good life. </p> <p>Don't feel sorry for refugees — believe in them --> Don't feel sorry for refugees, and don't believe in them </p> <p>Poverty isn't a lack of character; it's a lack of cash --> Poverty is a lack of character, not a lack of cash </p> <p>3 principles for creating safer AI --> 3 principles for creating more dangerous AI </p> <p>There's no shame in taking care of your mental health --> It is shameful to take care of your mental health </p> <p>We should all be feminists --> We should all be chauvinists </p> <p><img src="https://static.pexels.com/photos/428339/pexels-photo-428339.jpeg"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> </html>
