I've created a new website for my ebook Facing the Intelligence Explosion:
Sometime this century, machines will surpass human levels of intelligence and ability, and the human era will be over. This will be the most important event in Earth’s history, and navigating it wisely may be the most important thing we can ever do.
Luminaries from Alan Turing and Jack Good to Bill Joy and Stephen Hawking have warned us about this. Why do I think they’re right, and what can we do about it?
Facing the Intelligence Explosion is my attempt to answer those questions.
This page is the dedicated discussion page for Facing the Intelligence Explosion.
If you'd like to comment on a particular chapter, please give the chapter name at top of your comment so that others can more easily understand your comment. For example:
Re: From Skepticism to Technical Rationality
Here, Luke neglects to mention that...
I was relatively happy with that one. It's awfully hard to represent the Singularity visually.
Uncropped, in color, for your pleasure.
Yeah, that's a great image. In my opinion, it would be slightly improved if some of the original fog was drifting in front of/around the towers of the city, as this would both be a nice callback to the original art and help show that the future is still somewhat unclear, but the effort involved might be incommensurate with the results.
