Just got directed to this site. What to recommend? Start with Neil Gershenfeld on fab labs. Don’t miss Martin Rees and Robert Wright. Keep going and you’ll hit Ray Kurzweil. Lots of amazing, eye-opening stuff.

It’s all good.

    You should go to september 12th, 06… the second speaker is the best. 1. Problems are soluble; 2. problems are unavoidable. Vintage ‘The Speculist’?

    Highly reccomend the Tony Robbins talk from Feb 2006.

    Even if he doesn’t move you- at least two powerfully moving stories- the theme adresses something highly relevant to my thinking on AI and the soft take off: decision making.
    I believe AI will make decisions differently than we do- different process, different priorities- and TR makes an interesting case for how/why we decide.
