Synopsis

Mesa Sun Powers examines the intersection of technology and culture by exploring the integration of solar energy within Pueblo communities. It addresses a crucial question: Can these communities adopt modern renewable energy while preserving their indigenous heritage and traditions? The book argues for culturally sensitive approaches, emphasizing community involvement and respect for traditional values.

 
One intriguing fact is the deep connection Pueblo communities have to their land, which influences their building practices and energy choices. Another is the communal decision-making processes that are integral to their societies.

 
The book uniquely centers the voices of Pueblo community members, avoiding imposed solutions and facilitating collaboration in energy development. It progresses from establishing the historical and cultural context to detailing the technological aspects of solar energy tailored for Pueblo architecture. It then examines economic impacts like job creation and energy independence, and finally addresses cultural implications, such as effects on spiritual beliefs.

 
The book uses both quantitative data on solar energy production and qualitative data from interviews to support its arguments.

Artificial General Intelligence...

Julian Togelius

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.

I Flew Into The Cuckoo's Nest -...

Christopher Ford

A hilarious personal account from within the walls of the asylum.  
Unbelievably true stories that will make you laugh out loud while wincing at the shocking detail. This book will leave you wondering how society can be so seriously messed up, and how collective minds have malfunctioned. Not just for those with mental disorders, but those supposedly treating the afflicted. 
This is definitely not a recruitment advert for mental health nursing. 
This is a hard-hitting reality show. As the author says, “It’s a warts and all” account — meaning not just the warts but also the halitosis, the skid marks, and more. A pig wearing lipstick is still a pig; you cannot sugarcoat reality. 
Your jaw will drop often, but it will be exercised with laughter throughout.
