What made this book so inspiring compared to previous writers about the idea of machines becoming more intelligent and superceding hom sap? On your recommendation I wanna take a look.
'Superintelligence' by Nick Bostrom forced me to confront existential risk and made everything else seem like trivial, petty, short-sighted signaling by comparison.https://twitter.com/Grimerica/status/1120727872497422337 …

Bostrom just packs a lot more ideas and insights into each page, and has a genuinely visionary, balanced take on the issue.

“Superintelligence” was concise and well written, and I love the topic, but it was mostly a review with obvious conclusions. “The Mating Mind” provided MUCH more in the way of original thought.... just saying....

Aw, thanks.

Worrying about existential risk is moral signaling, too!

True. As I've often said, not all signaling is bad.....
