Ch5: Possibilities for using AI to detect patterns of bias, injustice, racism; or advance creativity. But expect it to be used to satisfy incentives: capitalism. “…the call is coming from inside the house: AI can devalue our humanity only because we already devalued it ourselves.” AI and creativity. Difference between create and express. We can make things better than what came before, this is moral creativity.

Typically I read two books simultaneously: one fiction, one non fiction. I love audiobooks, and usually follow the same pattern. So two books in text, two books in audio simultaneously. Sometimes, when I want to get through a book quick, I'll do both audio and text.

Ch3: Banger! Covers existential threat mongering, EA, longtermism, Future of Humanity; counteracts utilitarianism with virtue ethics. Butler’s rise of machines (yes, the Butler of that Jihad) shows this is not about new tech but existing hierarchies at risk. “Superhuman” AI is more like a virus than human: relentlessly optimizing. Should be building to augment humans, not replace or turn them into meatbots.

chadkoh finished reading Living Theravada by Brooke Schedneck
Quite a broad survey of practices of both "elite" and "popular" Buddhism across Southeast Asia, mostly centered on Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia. Some interesting tips, and some pretty concise explanations of Buddhist doctrine. I found these quite handy actually!
