Edition-147 of Delicacies. As usual, max 5 articles that I found interesting and worth re-reading. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. Enjoy!
- About the absence of a free will, the self, and much more that is not real (by Dave Pollard). Made me think. http://howtosavetheworld.ca/2019/04/28/nothing-on-offer-here/
- About Stephen Wolfram’s recent talk about computational intelligence and computational contracts. Fascinating. https://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2019/05/a-world-run-with-code/
- About AI hacking humanity, and the promise and perils of the transformative technology. Interview with Yuval Noah Harari, and Fei-Fei Li: https://www.wired.com/story/will-artificial-intelligence-enhance-hack-humanity/
- About the tyranny of convenience in the seemingly dystopian world technology companies are building: https://onezero.medium.com/the-tyranny-of-convenience-2e7fa145ab4
