Never read Camus, but my favorite western philosopher is Allan Watts.

And loved the “Superintelligence”, of Nick Bostrom, the mathematics oriented philosopher. Is somewhat technical but understandable as a whole! Not to mention that talks about the present/future.

Thanks for response.
Didn’t read them, but maybe will read “Superintelligence” some day
On AI I read Max Tegmark not so long ago and
“AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World” by Kai-Fu Lee
Both are good books

Note that Bostrom talks about both AI and human superintelligence possibilities.

It’s a falacy to think in the post-human era as being dominated by deep learning alghos or the Tavistock transhumanism movement.

Earth will become a brighter place to live.

HI Andrii,

I’ve read “The Outsider” by Camus. It’s a pretty bleak read…

Cheers,
