  Artificial General Intelligence...

  Artificial intelligence surrounds us. More and more of the systems and services you interact with every day are based on AI technology. Most AI is narrowly specific; that is, it can only do a single thing, in a single context. For example, your spellchecker can't do mathematics, and the world's best chess-playing program can’t play Tetris. Human intelligence is different. We can solve a variety of tasks, including those we have not seen before. In Artificial General Intelligence, Julian Togelius explores technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence and asks what general AI would mean for human civilization. 
   
   
   
  Togelius starts by giving examples of narrow AI that have superhuman performance in some way. He then discusses what it would mean to have general intelligence, by looking at definitions from psychology, ethology, and computer science. Next, he explores the two main families of technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence: foundation models through self-supervised learning, and open-ended learning in virtual environments. The final chapters of the book investigate potential artificial general intelligence beyond the strictly technical aspects. The questions discussed here investigate whether such general AI would be conscious, whether it would pose a risk to humanity, and how it might alter society.

  The Plague Years - A Doctor’s...

  In 1992, Dr. Ross A. Slotten signed more death certificates in Chicago—and, by inference, the state of Illinois—than anyone else. As a family physician, he was trained to care for patients from birth to death, but when he completed his residency in 1984, he had no idea that many of his future patients would be cut down in the prime of their lives. Among those patients were friends, colleagues, and lovers, shunned by most of the medical community because they were gay and HIV positive. Slotten wasn’t an infectious disease specialist, but because of his unique position as both a gay man and a young physician, he became an unlikely pioneer, swept up in one of the worst epidemics in modern history. 
   
  Plague Years is an unprecedented first-person account of that epidemic, spanning not just the city of Chicago but four continents as well. Slotten provides an intimate yet comprehensive view of the disease’s spread alongside heartfelt portraits of his patients and his own conflicted feelings as a medical professional, drawn from more than thirty years of personal notebooks. In telling the story of someone who was as much a potential patient as a doctor, Plague Years sheds light on the darkest hours in the history of the LGBT community in ways that no previous medical memoir has.

  Remote work has transitioned from a rare privilege to a widespread norm, reshaping the way individuals and organizations approach productivity, collaboration, and work-life balance. While working remotely once seemed limited to freelancers and digital nomads, advancements in technology and a shift in workplace culture have made it a viable option for professionals across all industries. This transformation has been especially accelerated by global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced companies to adopt remote strategies almost overnight. As a result, many organizations have discovered the long-term benefits and flexibility that remote work offers. 
  The evolution of the modern workplace has been marked by a steady move away from traditional office settings. High-speed internet, cloud computing, and a wide array of collaboration tools have made it easier than ever to connect from anywhere in the world. Employees no longer need to be physically present to contribute meaningfully to their teams. This has given rise to distributed workforces, where talent is sourced globally, and diverse perspectives are brought together in virtual environments. The shift has not only broadened hiring pools but also enabled businesses to reduce overhead costs and improve employee satisfaction. 
  Technology has played a pivotal role in enabling this transition. Tools for communication, project management, video conferencing, and file sharing have made collaboration seamless, even when teams are spread across multiple time zones. Platforms like Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace have become central to the remote work ecosystem. These technologies are not just alternatives to in-person interaction—they are becoming essential components of the modern work experience.
