Recommendation

Blogger Mark Manson seeks to convey a sense of ease about the rapid advancement of technology. He explains the visions held by “techno-utopiasts” and the “techno-armageddonists” before outlining his own devil-may-care perspective – even if machines outwit, destroy or replace humankind. Although his style is sensationalist, his argument is simple, frank and strangely compelling. getAbstract recommends this tongue-in-cheek exposé to those who wonder what sharing this planet with intelligent machines may mean.

Take-Aways

  • Technology is constantly advancing, and the rate of change is increasing.
  • People tend to view artificial intelligence either with a gloom-and-doom attitude or unrestrained enthusiasm.
  • “Techno-utopiasts” predict that people could eventually sync their brains to the cloud and survive virtually even after they have physically vanished.
