Most Read This Week In Artificial Intelligence

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] Welcome to the 2025 Personal Growth Book Challenge, a space for individuals committed to becoming well-rounded, thoughtful, and intentional in their lives. This group is for anyone who wants to dive into books that inspire personal and professional growth, enhance health and wellness, deepen spiritual connections, and improve relationships as a father, husband, or partner. Join us as we explore impactful reads in categories such as: • Business & Marketing: Sharpen your professional skills and elevate your career. • Health & Wellness: Cultivate a healthier body and mind. • Spirituality & Religion: Strengthen your spiritual foundation and explore diverse perspectives. • Family & Relationships: Become a more engaged and loving parent or spouse. Let’s hold each other accountable, share key takeaways, and inspire one another to grow throughout the year.

[close] A community of people who want to engage with topics spanning across physics, mathematics, computation, biology, chaos and complexity theory, cognitive sciences (artificial intelligence, neuroscience, psychology), philosophy of science (and other areas at intersectional crossroads) at a more robust level than popular expositions that are intended for a broader audience. Every member ought to have the enthusiasm and will to work through difficult texts (and solving exercises, if needed!) This implies that the selection of books that are more formal in the treatment of their subject matter will be prioritized over those that shy away from complications, but doesn't necessarily exclude anything apriori. On the other hand, we want to pick up those having relevance in addressing fundamental questions rather than digging down the rabbit hole for extremely niche curiosities.

[close] We love books. Books can move us, bring us to tears, elate us, make us uncomfortable, cause us to question our understanding of ourselves and the world. Books inform us. Books entertain us. Books spark wonder. Books convey humanity. The best books are art. AI books are none of this. They are hollow shells that damage both the reader and the would-be writer. They rob people of the ability to express the self and to convey meaning. AI illustrations are ineffective, inhuman, and obscure meaning. You can't trust the products of AI. Some AI books are put out by hustlers, some by people who bizarrely think they're actually producing anything of value. All are abhorrent and the book reading and buying public should never be exposed to them. No matter the intended audience, no matter the level of transparency about AI use, no matter the price point, these so-called books are an affront to readers everywhere and to humanity in general. This group is for people who hate AI books and want to talk about how wretched they are, laugh at them, and call them out when necessary. Help readers everywhere - scoff at AI books!
