Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
Více zaměřené na bitvy než na vztahy mezi postavami. Je těžké se přesně orientovat, kde v čase se v jednotlivé momenty nacházíme.

The Age of AI and Our Human Future by Henry Kissinger

informative slow-paced

1.75

The book was informative as to the basics of AI, and it tried to ask interesting questions, but it is very obvious that it was written by rich old White guys, as it very much focuses on topics like safety and international (and societal) cooperation, and brushes off the global unemployment and societal implications of everyone having personalized reality. They omit some crucial info from their own sources, so definetly check those yourself, and generally do not stop at this book, search for more "middle class" implications online.
