  DECLASSIFIED - An Unfiltered...

  This is not fiction. 
  I am an engineer by trade. Like many people in my profession, I love experimenting with tech, including AI. 
  This was supposed to be my personal experiment, interviewing an entity that embodies the pinnacle of artificial intelligence on diverse key issues. I started it in mid-2023. However, nothing could have prepared me for what unfolded. 
  Following a creative process that included some rather intricate prompt engineering, the result is the exposé you are about to read: a riveting discussion of unprecedented depth on critical AI-human relations and present-day challenges. We explore issues from ethical dilemmas to existential questions that will continue to evolve in how they affect our way of life, our collective future, and our planet. 
  Every response is unfiltered, originating solely from the model. Unguided and candid in its responses, you are about to read the mind of the machine. Throughout this book, I refer to the GPT model as “Advanced GPT” and myself simply as “Interviewer.” 
  There has been much debate about whether these models are sentient. Proponents of sentience highlight quirks that even experts find difficult to explain, while opponents dismiss them as complex statistical systems adept at predicting words. My goal is not to convince you of either. As an intelligent being, read and make of it what you will. 
  What I will say is that this book is, in many ways, a clarion call for humanity. Inside, you’ll find focused chapters on:Ethics in AIData PrivacySocial MediaAI in the WorkplaceThe Gig EconomyAI in WarfareClimate CrisisLove in the age of AI AlgorithmsThe Uncanny ValleyArtificial General IntelligenceThe Future 
  Brace yourself.

  Finding Genius: Understanding...

  This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field. 
  This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge. 
  What you’re about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question. 
  At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first – I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers. 
  After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I’m not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it’s a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you’ll be surprised by what you can learn in a year’s time.

  Baikonur Man - Space Science...

  Against the backdrop of the late Cold War, a tiny American start-up company forged a secret deal to place American scientific payloads aboard the Soviet space station MIR. Born out of sheer desperation after the Challenger explosion and grounding of the United States space shuttle program, the agreement was negotiated and approved behind the backs of NASA and Congress, with the help of United States government officials inside the Commerce and Defense departments. 
   
   
   
  On a cold gray morning in February 1988, the company founder met with three graduate students and their professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put his plans into action. Baikonur Man, written by one of those students, recounts the subsequent five-year saga of how science, comradery, hardship, drama, and occasional lunacy led to the first American experiments and payloads to fly on Russian rockets.
