Many smart people out there say AI is an existential risk. AI Armageddon is certainly is a top-5 concern of  enough people that we feel it warrants a deeper understanding. And in Superintelligence, Bostrom is the perfect robot-impersonating-author to teach us AI 101 while simultaneously capturing AI’s full scale and magnitude. He talked to everybody and covers the biggest questions: what are all the potential outcomes? How likely is AI? When might it happen? What’s the history of AI technology and are we excited about nothing? If an artificial intelligence does take over what would it do? High-probability take-over-the-world is on the early menu. Plus, what’s the world’s current #robotpopulation? Could #serversruntheworld? This book will make you think differently about the way your BRAIN and your SOCIETY operate. This Books Brothers summary will do ALL that and make you laugh.

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers Strategies - Nick Bostrom

Selfish Gene answers a deep and fundamental question: How does evolution work? We start our story in the Primordial Soup served hot at the Big Bang’s favorite diner, the single-cell-stew that brewed in Earth’s original oceans (after millions of years cooled the atmosphere obviously). The effect those little replicating cells, containing the world’s first DNA structures, have on our behavior today is ???. Plus, Dawkins colorfully illustrates why #NatureIsMetal and what really goes on #WhenaManLovesaWoman This book will make you think differently about the way your BRAIN and your SOCIETY operate.

The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins

The Righteous Mind answers a deep and fundamental question: why can’t we all just get along? Why can’t Democrats and Republicans understand each other better? Haidt answers these better than anyone (ever) by breaking down the social psychology and brain science of why our species is so apt to join groups, take sides and fight. The Righteous Mind covers 17 years of Haidt’s research into moral psychology and human behavior, and he uses it to explain our divided world today. Plus, Hadit drops some bombs on our next book, Selfish Gene. #EmotionsFirstReasoningSecond #10%bee #BelongingNotBelievingThis book will make you think differently about the way your BRAIN and your SOCIETY operate.

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion - Jonathan Haidt

Sapiens is a 416-page story of humankind from 6M years ago to today. Harari wraps it all up: our psychology, technology, religion, economy, politics… Nobody puts things quite the way Yuval does - he’s got some weird/deep thoughts and spits some fire trash talk at basically everything.

Some of the smartest people out there say a SUPERINTELLIGENT AI is an existential risk. Lets get some deeper understanding, and Bostrom is the perfect machine-impersonating author to give us the basics while capturing magnitude of the potential problem. How likely is a Superintelligence? When might it happen? What’s the history of AI technology and are we excited about nothing? Would a superintelligence try and make itself smarter?  It it tried to take over (whoa) what MIGHT it do?
