@kevin2kelly It's a bimodal distribution between AI technicians and AI philosophers. Sort of like the alchemy phase of chemistry, before atomic theory and the periodic table. Speaking of which, this book is the best I read all year:      источник

Termination Shock book cover
Termination Shock
A Novel
Neal Stephenson - 2021-11-16
Рейтинг Goodreads
"Termination Shock" by Neal Stephenson is a gripping technothriller that envisions a devastating future impacted by climate change. The story takes readers on a journey through a world ravaged by environmental disasters and killer viruses caused by global warming. With a Big Idea that could potentially reverse the effects of climate change, the novel asks the crucial question: what would be the cost to humanity if we apply a solution that is worse than the problem itself? Fascinating and thought-provoking, "Termination Shock" is an exhilarating must-read for fans of dystopian fiction.

I've now finished the book, all 700 pages of it. Grade: 8/10. Fantastic tech, timely topic, great writing. But 1/3 of the book, the whole Indian/Hamilayan thread woven throughout, was unnecessary and could have deleted, bringing it back to a manageable size      источник

I really enjoyed this book, which reads like a thriller & tells the story of creating the Predator program before & after 9/11. Although the aircraft already existed, this team had to figure out how to operate it from the other side of the world & arm it      источник

5 сценариев гибели Вселенной с точки зрения астрофизики
Katie Mack - 2020-06-09
Рейтинг Goodreads
Астрофизик Кэти Мак рассматривает пять возможных сценариев конца Вселенной, опираясь на новейшие исследования в области физики и космологии. С одной стороны признание конца Вселенной - это мрачное предположение. Но через юмор, метафоры, личные исследования, автор создала восхитительную книгу, в которой большие идеи современной астрофизики объясняются через призму конца времен.

@AstroKatie @AleksandraFaust So you're saying I need to file my taxes? Dang. BTW, my daughter gave me your book for Christmas and I couldn't put it down. Science book of the year, hands down. Everything A Brief History of Time should have been. Bravo! (me: former Los Alamos physicist, ex Nature & Science)      источник

Andrew McAfee - 2019-10-08
Рейтинг Goodreads
Discover the revolutionary argument that growing technologically sophisticated market-based economies around the world is the key to increasing human prosperity while treading more lightly on our planet. More from Less provides masterfully researched evidence that America and other countries are now generally using less resources year after year, even as their economies and populations continue to grow, thanks to the collaboration between technology and capitalism. This book is a paradigm-shifting account of how humanity stumbled into an unexpectedly better balance with nature, offering the promise of a more abundant and greener future.

@elidourado @pmarcas_likes What broke was our risk tolerance. The "Skunkworks" book is a great insider story of that. The day that the financial auditors outnumbered the engineers was the day the innovation died:      источник
