  The next wave of technological change will shape not just our gizmos and gadgets, but our own bodies and minds. Join award-winning historian Michael Bess to learn what to expect from the “Superhuman Revolution.”In the near future, developments in bioenhancement technologies will not only alter how we make a living, communicate, and interact with each other, but will offer direct and precise control over our own physical and mental states. People will be able to sculpt their own selfhood over time, reshaping their bodies, augmenting their cognition, micro-managing their emotions and moods, and reconfiguring their character and personality. In this captivating audio series from Michael Bess, author of Our Grandchildren, Redesigned: Life in the Bioengineered Society of the Near Future, you’ll explore the promise and peril of tinkering with human bodies and identities. In these 28 illuminating lectures, you’ll examine the challenges posed to human civilization by developments in pharmaceuticals, bioelectronics, and genetics. Using an interdisciplinary approach, you’ll tackle a series of provocative questions, including:To what extent can human personhood be modified before it begins to break down? What would be the likely social and cultural consequences if practices of human redesign were to be widely adopted?How much can we control the direction in which science, medicine, and technology are taking our civilization?This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

  Scabies - A Comprehensive Guide...

  Scabies is a highly contagious skin condition caused by the microscopic Sarcoptes scabiei mite. These mites burrow into the upper layer of the skin, where they lay eggs and trigger an allergic reaction, leading to intense itching and irritation. Scabies infestations can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses, making it a global health concern. Although the condition is treatable, its contagious nature requires prompt diagnosis and management to prevent widespread transmission. Understanding scabies, how it spreads, and its impact on individuals and communities is crucial in controlling outbreaks and ensuring effective treatment. 
  Scabies mites are tiny parasites that are not visible to the naked eye. They have a life cycle consisting of several stages, including egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Once the female mite burrows into the skin, she lays eggs that hatch within a few days. The larvae then mature into adults and continue the infestation. The entire life cycle takes about two to three weeks, during which the mites multiply and spread to new areas of the skin. This continuous cycle of burrowing, laying eggs, and maturing contributes to the persistence of the infestation and the worsening of symptoms. 
  The primary mode of transmission for scabies is direct, prolonged skin-to-skin contact with an infected individual. This makes scabies particularly common in households, nursing homes, schools, and other crowded living environments where close physical interactions occur frequently. The mites can also spread through shared bedding, clothing, and furniture, although indirect transmission is less common. Because scabies mites can survive for a short time outside the human body, it is possible for reinfestation to occur if proper decontamination measures are not taken.

  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.

  Drawing Out Leviathan -...

  " . . . are dinosaurs social constructs? Might not all of our beliefs about dinosaurs merely be figments of the paleontological imagination? A few years ago such questions would have seemed preposterous, even nonsensical. Now they must have a serious answer." 
   
   
   
  At stake in the "Science Wars" that have raged in academe and in the media is nothing less than the standing of science in our culture. One side argues that science is a "social construct," that it does not discover facts about the world, but rather constructs artifacts disguised as objective truths. This view threatens the authority of science and rejects science's claims to objectivity, rationality, and disinterested inquiry. Drawing Out Leviathan examines this argument in the light of some major debates about dinosaurs: the case of the wrong-headed dinosaur, the dinosaur "heresies" of the 1970s, and the debate over the extinction of dinosaurs. 
   
   
   
  Keith Parsons claims that these debates show that evidence and logic remained vitally important. They show science to be a complex set of activities, pervaded by social influences, and not easily reducible to any stereotype. Parsons acknowledges that there are lessons to be learned by scientists from their would-be adversaries, and the book concludes with some recommendations for ending the Science Wars.
