SUMMARY:Why Pundits and Experts Often Get It Wrong: A Discussion on "Future Babble"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online discussion on December 18th!\n\n\nEver wonder why the bold predictions from experts on TV and in the news so often miss the mark? From stock market forecasts to political outcomes\, confident predictions abound\, yet our future remains stubbornly unpredictable. \nJoin the Austin Forum for a fascinating book discussion on “Future Babble: Why Expert Predictions Fail—and Why We Believe Them Anyway” by Dan Gardner. Craig Wheeler\, author of “The Path to Singularity” and a professor emeritus of astronomy\, will help us dive into the psychology behind our desire for certainty and explore Gardner’s compelling argument that the most confident “expert” pundits are often the most likely to be wrong.  \nThis is a conversation about critical thinking in an age of information overload. We’ll discuss: \n\nWhy our brains are wired to trust confident-sounding predictions\, even when they’re baseless.\nHow to distinguish between genuine expertise and confident “hedgehogs” who oversimplify complex issues.\nThe impact of failed predictions on our society\, from financial markets to public policy.\n\nAs we approach the start of a new year\, we’re all going to hear about predictions for 2026—including in our own Austin Forum event in January! After this discussion we will all be more careful about making predictions and knowing how to assess predictions made by others. It should make for some great holiday conversations with family\, too. 😉 \nWhether you’ve read the book cover-to-cover or are just intrigued by the topic\, you’re welcome to join the discussion. Come share your thoughts on how we can all become smarter consumers of information and make better decisions in an uncertain world.  \n \nAttendance Instructions \nThe discussion will be held online via Google Meet. Please register to receive the meet link! \nSpace is limited\, so please register only if you’re confident you can attend—and kindly cancel your registration if your plans change so we can open your spot to another participant.

SUMMARY:Supercomputing\, Cloud Computing\, and AI Factories: The Importance of Speed AND Scale
DESCRIPTION:Supercomputers—systems designed to achieve extremely high computational performance—have been designed and used to solve the most challenging problems for six decades\, from the earliest Cray supercomputer to today’s “El Capitan” (world’s current top-ranked supercomputer) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Cloud computing has increased the scale of computing and storage accessible around the globe to support massive throughput of applications and workloads for consumer and enterprise needs\, and increasingly adopting high performance computing technologies into cloud datacenters to address research and industry needs for large-scale simulation\, massive data analytics\, and Ai model training. AI factories are bringing these approaches even together even more tightly\, enabling the development of foundational and frontier AI models used by hundreds of millions of people globally. \nJoin us to learn about the differences\, commonalities\, and convergence of the technologies and approaches\, the current and future applications and challenges\, and other considerations of ultrafast computing at massive scale. Our expert panel will discuss the recent history\, current state and trends\, and expected evolution of massive computing scale and performance\, how it will influence science and society\, and what we need to do to achieve the awesome benefits while addressing the challenges of huge infrastructure requirements and the potential negative uses of the output of these systems. This is sure to be an informative\, inspiring\, and thought-provoking presentation and conversation with computing technology leaders. It will be of value to anyone whose careers and companies depends—directly or indirectly—on the availability\, scale\, and performance of massive computing\, and of interest to anyone who cares about how the applications we use every day—including AI—are enabled. \nThis event is sponsored by Google Cloud and held at Google Austin.
