In this way, people might live up to the standard of ethics that holds consent as a virtue.

What's going on with AI (Links)

I have been looking into AI and trying to understand how it will affect humans in the future. I think AI will profoundly affect the economy, how people communicate, and the world of entertainment. I do not think that anyone can predict the impact or future world that will result from the use of widespread artificial intelligence. I am unsure of whether I am pro or against AI but I am certain my views will have little impact on its development and implementation. I am sure that I will be affected by it and I am curious what the long-term outcomes of its use will be.

Book Review: The Martian by Andy Weir

This is the most masculine book ever! It has data, math, engineering, potatoes, problem-solving, and almost zero explicit emotional content. It is about a man who is stuck alone on Mars who never cries or gets depressed or laments about missing his family or friends back on Earth. He just works and solves problems with his superior intellect and indomitable spirit.

Book/Series Review: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas

I have enjoyed the entire series immensely and consider it one of the best fantasy stories I have ever read. The entire thing is well-paced, superbly written, wonderfully exciting, and suspenseful and the organization of the chapters, books, and series was masterfully orchestrated. I am very glad that this series was introduced to me by my friends and I am compelled to read more from Sarah J. Maas although I am afraid nothing will quite live up to the Throne of Glass series. I cried, I laughed but mostly I couldn’t stop reading. I highly recommend these books and I thought the finale was perfect.
