So I read slightly more of this book yesterday. I got to a point where I wanted to see whether Max Tegmark had made more up to date commentary on AI since this was published in 2017. 8 years ago. What I saw in interviews was extremely alarming. AI has passed the Turing test which means we need more legislation in place to make sure that it isn't negative. I watched his TED talk and a 45 minute separate interview.

Forgot to do updates as I read because I got stuck around chapter 7. The final two chapters of the book. I haven't found the book very compelling because of its format. All the asides and diagrams aren't particularly useful. Towards the end there seems to be an asterix aside on every other page which really breaks the flow. I guess as well because it is dated because of the advancement of AI since 2017.

Read half of the book now. We are moving onto the more theoretical impacts of AGI. i am going to check when the book was published because the speculation of AI and what it will lead to is very founded in the current reality.

Finished the second chapter. Went up to forty hall making use of "grandising thinking" from deep work. Henry VIII country estate and nature hopefully should do the trick. Max Tegmatk recommends skipping forward some chapters if you shev knowledge on the subject. I probably should've because the second chapter wasn't very interesting to me.

Got as a present for Christmas. Put off because it looked dull when I flicked through it. Saw some bad diagrams. The prologue is interesting and if the book explores the concepts the theoretical story of the omega team developing the first general intelligence in the prologue should be a fun ride.
