I've finished the book "Life 3.0" from Max Tegmark.
Originally I came to it because of the question "What would a (mid-term) future job landscape look like?" - Which is answered about halfway through.
Also in this book:
How to extract energy from a black hole.
It is a very good ride across the field of AI, as well as human philosophy. And it mirrors what I've heard somewhere else: When we figured out sentient AI, we'll also have figured out humans.
Having read (and mostly enjoyed) books by Max Tegmark, Stuart Russell, Ray Kurzweil, Brian Christian, Ajay Agrawal and Nick Bostrom in recent months, its been Melanie Mitchell (AI: a guide for thinking humans), D'Iganzio & Klein (Data Feminism) and Erica Thompson (Escape from Model Land) that I think have provided some of the most balanced and insightful perspectives on AI and data science.

The #AI pause letter signed by #ElonMusk has fake signatures, and has been denounced as unhinged.
That's physicist #MaxTegmark's reputation buggered. His #FutureOfLife institute behind the open letter should have known better, and its incompetence will hinder credible criticism of AI/Machine Learning.

Have recently read 'Power & Prediction' by Agrawal, Gans & Goldfarb, and re-read 'Life 3.0' by Max Tegmark and 'Human Compatible' by Stuart Russell.
Anyone have other recommendations in these areas?

Elon Musk-funded nonprofit run by MIT professor offered to finance Swedish pro-nazi group | Expo.se https://expo.se/2023/01/elon-musk-funded-nonprofit-run-mit-professor-offered-finance-swedish-pro-nazi-group
'The US-based and Elon Musk-funded Future of Life Institute, run by MIT professor and Swedish citizen Max Tegmark, offered a grant of $100,000 to right-wing extremists in Sweden, an Expo investigation reveals. Tegmark initially denied offering any funds, then referred all questions to a law firm – which says that no money will be paid out, while refusing to explain the grant offer.'

Yet another Nazi-collaborator exposed.
Makes me sick I bought Tegmark's books and even gave them as presents.

Amused. I misread a post that used the tag #AIethics (with a capital 'i') as #Alethics (small 'l') - as in #Alethiometer from #PhilipPullman #HisDarkMaterials - and thought wow! Is this a thing in #ai research? I think it should be now ☺️ - the study of #Dust - both in Pullman’s sense (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_(His_Dark_Materials) and #GregEgan in his extraordinary #PermutationCity (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation_City) - a book that I revisit every few years because it is both incredibly disturbing and endlessly fascinating to think about. And #MaxTegmark #MathematicalUniverseHypothesis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe_hypothesis. I suspect I am a #RadicalPlatonist.
