Into a Cairn Alone Aaron Smith Solo RPG actual play / recap. Using Cairn 2e with multiple oracles to produce an engaging emergent science fantasy story in old school style. Cover art by Perplexing Ruins. Intro / Outro Brazil the Band. Supreme Betrayal: How the Supreme Court and Constitutional Law Have Failed America Mark Tushnet, Louis Michael Seidman Sitting in their marble palace, dressed in their black robes, Supreme Court Justices would like us to believe that they are wise and disinterested oracles dispensing words of truth and justice. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every episode week, Mark Tushnet and Mike Seidman, two renown constitutional law scholars, lift the curtain and show us how the men and women there who sit on the High Court have been manipulating us. Superintelligence : Paths, Dangers, Strategies l Nick Bostrom Nick Bostrom The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. Other animals have stronger muscles or sharper claws, but we have cleverer brains. If machine brains one day come to surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become very powerful. As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on us humans than on the gorillas themselves, so the fate of our species then would come to depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence. But we have one advantage: we get to make the first move. Will it be possible to construct a seed AI or otherwise to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation? To get closer to an answer to this question, we must make our way through a fascinating landscape of topics and considerations.
