  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.

  Splinters of Infinity - Cosmic...

  Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
   
   
   
  In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.

  The Day Without A Shield - A...

  The Day Without A Shield : A Theory on Magnetic Cycles Carved in StoneA journey through science, symbols, and millennia of silence.In
   this book, Antonio Morittu presents a fascinating and original theory: 
  that ancient civilizations, witnesses to extreme geophysical events such
   as the reversal of the Earth's magnetic field, may have left a message 
  encoded in stone.
   
  Through the analysis of menhirs, domus de janas,
   dolmens, petroglyphs, and underground cities scattered across the five 
  continents, the author suggests the existence of a fragmented planetary 
  memory carved in universal symbols. Spirals, circles, hypogean shelters,
   and astronomical alignments would not merely be ritual or artistic 
  expressions, but a time-resistant language, conceived to survive the 
  collapse of civilizations and to speak to the future.
   
  The
   text moves fluidly between geophysics, alternative archaeology, 
  mythology, and symbolic language, with an evocative and reflective 
  style. It includes explanatory images, a scientific appendix, and an 
  extensive glossary.
   
  This book does not claim to offer final answers, but rather poses a pressing question:and if the stone is still trying to speak to us... will we be able to listen?
