Just a brief mention since we're supposed to avoid AI for a while, but it is too relevant to this post to totally ignore: I just finished J Storrs Hall's "Beyond AI", the overlap and differences with Eliezer's FAI are very interesting, and it is a very readable book.
EDIT: You all might notice I did write "overlap and differences"; I noticed the differences, but I do think they are interesting; not least because they seem similar to some of Robin's criticisms of Eliezer's FAI.
I've read it too, but made the mistake of reading it right after Godel, Escher, Bach. Hard to compare.
What surprised me most was how much of the things written in a book published in 2007 were more or less the same as those in a book published in 1979. I expected more new promising developments since then, and that was a bit of a downer.
