  • I have listened to Leo (Uncle Leo as my wife and I refer to him) since his days with TechTV in the 90s. Unfortunately, he has started to fall prey to the trend of politicizing everything. I've come to the point of having to skip the first 30 minutes of each show to get past it all.

Security Now 1060: 3-Day Certificates
Q: How can it possibly be that Microsoft would be using code signing certificates that only last for three days?
The signing certificate's validity window is managed by a trusted timestamp authority, which confirms the signature at the moment of signing, making the expiration irrelevant afterwards.
Intelligent Machines 851: Intelligent Machines Best of 2025
Q: How do you see the potential dangers of AI evolving and what should we consider?
The threats of AI are real and serious, but it's not an alien invasion. Techniques are widely known, and it's actually helpful that everybody has access to it.
Intelligent Machines 851: Intelligent Machines Best of 2025
Q: Are we still on target for AGI predictions?
I said 2029 in 1999. There are people who say we've already passed the Turing test. I believe that by 2029, everyone will believe that we've passed it.
Intelligent Machines 851: Intelligent Machines Best of 2025
Q: Ray, do you have a definition of intelligence, you know, generic, even before you get into this, artificial?
Intelligence is a way of using limited resources to solve a problem. The faster you can solve it and the more sophisticated that you can, the problem that you can solve, you have more intelligence.
