What book are you reading?


Tim Lane, Software Developer at ACME Corporation
Uh, I'm reading a book on artificial history of natural intelligence, thinking with machines from Descartes to the digital age, it's written by David W. Bates. Not really excited about the whole AI thing like everyone else, but I enjoy reading about how we got to where we're at. Both the technology side, but also just what we think intelligence is, let alone artificial intelligence. A lot of what we collectively believe about artificial intelligence It comes from a lot of really messed up concepts involved with religion, white supremacy, and colonialism. I'm more interested in why people are so interested in AI than I'm interested in AI itself. I actually think there's, there's a lot more there to talk about. Then what API does in, for me as a software developer.
