Life 3.0 - Book Review
Life 3.0, by Max Tegmark, looks into our AI powered future, and how it could be.
Several interesting parts, including the views on how an hypothetical Artificial General Intelligence could launch. Other bits felt less interesting and dragged more, for example the theory on how much energy or space could be available for AIs (even if the mechanisms analyzed were sometimes interesting).
It also goes a lot into AI safety, which the author cares so much about it that he launched a foundation to study the subject, including grants for researchers and everything.
Overall, I felt it was pretty good, but some parts drag it down.
