The hidden history of modern machine intelligence has more to do with medieval poetry and Russian folktales than the myths being told in Silicon Valley. A very different conversation about AI with Dennis Yi Tenen, author of Literary Theory for Robots.

Going on CSpan/BookTV at noon EST for two hours! It's a call-in, so please come and let's talk! About books, my books, writing, tech bro lunacy....All are welcome. https://t.co/v1hMCd10zS

Hey Japan: I'm coming to Tokyo! My event - "The Battle for Digital Survival: Who Will Survive?" (how they translated "Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires") - Tuesday Oct 17 at 2p, Hibiya Library and Cultural Center Convention Hall (B1F Large Hall).

@DavidBrin Yeah. As you know, I've been analyzing the historical, economic, and tech-culture streams that have led to this mindset. I do think my Survival of the Richest is useful in understanding the "fad," and I have heard from a few TESCREALs that it helped them recover from the lunacy.
Do your customers know more about your products than you do? A new monologue from me about how we measure ourselves and employees in terms of utility instead of true passion. And why that's a problem.
