That darn book I mentioned keeps reverberating in my brain as I read about Mythos… I'm still happily working away with AI, creating fun agents and generally being amazed and mostly in a good way. But clearly my glasses are a bit rose coloured. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to just slow down a bit? But, that won't happen the way things are currently constructed… the argument "well, somebody will do it, so might as well be us" is too hard to fight against. Let's just all be careful what we wish for.

Just finished reading "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies". Perhaps not the most optimistic read I've ever enjoyed but it sure is interesting… alarming and disturbing but interesting! I'm not going to to try and summarize the book here but, it's not a long read, nor is it technical. It IS well worth reading…
