I am dead, I can’t believe this AI intro text I just got. If you thumb through it, there are all the usual suspects like breadth-first search and probability.

Then you open the first chapter and it goes HARD on the current state of things.

Then it’s back to mathematical notation like nothing happened.

@vicki In the near future, I suppose that commodity AI and robots will be much better at literally everything than any humans. So we will need some sort of generous welfare to keep us humans alive. I'm not so worried about that, more concerned that we might not have much reason to live. I guess we will still be able to watch movies, and learn stuff to amuse ourselves.
