"The Myth of Artificial Intelligence: Why Computers Can't Think the Way We Do" by Erik J. Larson

"A cutting-edge AI researcher and tech entrepreneur debunks the fantasy that superintelligence is just a few clicks away―and argues that this myth is not just wrong, it’s actively blocking innovation and distorting our ability to make the crucial next leap. Futurists insist that AI will soon eclipse the capacities of the most gifted human mind. What hope do we have against superintelligent machines? But we aren’t really on the path to developing intelligent machines. In fact, we don’t even know where that path might be. A tech entrepreneur and pioneering research scientist working at the forefront of natural language processing, Erik Larson takes us on a tour of the landscape of AI to show how far...>>

“The World’s Most Infamous Cults of All Time” by Conrad Bauer

"The World's Most Infamous Cults of All Time" by Conrad Bauer

"Since the beginning of recorded history, there have been cults—shadowy organizations led by figures who rose up to teach beliefs that went against the mainstream and then, through sheer charisma and power of personality, managed to accumulate a group of fanatic followers.

How do these cults get such dedicated disciples? How are they so tightly organized and controlled? Just what is it that makes a cult—a cult? Come along with us as we...>>

“Existential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power” by Carolyn Elliott

"Existential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power" by Carolyn Elliott

The dark side of our personality—the “other,” the shadow side—is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses—our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking...>>
