Today on my #scifi #writing #podcast we explore the technology of the Culture, especially its sentient AIs. We examine the reasons true AI might not be possible and decide whether those ideas seem likely to be true.

This is lifted from the novels of Iain M. Banks, which Musk has claimed as an inspiration before. It wasn't stupid in the novels, because they're sci-fi.

Banks famously wrote a villain eerily similar to Musk; he covets ideas and advances he doesn't understand.

Popped into a local op shop during lunch for a quick browse, and thought I'd come up empty-handed for a change, til I spotted this on a bottom shelf on the way out.

Mine for the princely sum of $4 - appears to be brand spanking new/unread too - bonus!
