informative inspiring medium-paced

It’s an important book to read when everyone out there is talking about AGI.

hopeful informative inspiring reflective

This book was amazing! Part science, part philosophy, part poetry, it encourages a new way of viewing the world and asking the question: what does intelligence mean? It is a beautiful call to challenge your own internal biases, and question your assumptions.

I removed a star for the simple fact that a large part of the book is about animal rights and their rights to the land, but at the same time does not really touch on factory farming, etc.

Hugely interesting book otherwise. The sections on 'true' randomness in computers, and alternatives to the silicon/processor type computers we use today are endlessly fascinating.
