While traveling these last two weeks, I've had time to think about what the heck is going on with AI, AGI and well ... life. What exactly is the rush and where are we going - on a personal level?

It feels so weird to read an endless series of tragic events and then put down my phone, make a cup of tea and carry on with my workday. I don’t know how to hold and exist in both realities.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

He makes it all sound so simple. But then billionaires have been known to oversimplify the perils of life seen from the perspective of others. What about a national rail system that is more like Japan our European or China if you're that bent on improving passenger safety.
