Book cover for Moral AI: And How We Get There (Pelican Books)
Some bad news: Tremendous computational resources are needed to train many high-performing AI models. It has been said that ‘training a single AI model can emit as much carbon as five cars in their lifetimes’.23

Donna Tartt
“It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown I back, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Anne Carson
“XXIV. And kneeling at the edge of the transparent sea I shall shape for myself a new heart from salt and mud”
Anne Carson

John  Williams
“Begone, begone, you bloody whoreson Gauls!”
John Williams, Stoner

Søren Kierkegaard
“I have just returned from a party of which I was the life and soul; wit poured from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me–but I went away– and wanted to shoot myself.”
Søren Kierkegaard, The Soul of Kierkegaard: Selections from His Journals
