About event

At our second meeting, we discussed Eliezer Yudkowsky's book, "[If anyone builds it, everyone dies](https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/474267/if-anyone-builds-it-everyone-dies-by-soares-eliezer-yudkowsky-and-nate/9781847928924)". So this time, something optimistic is needed :)

**Let's dive into different utopian versions of our world with AGI.** The texts below are just suggestions; pick one or read something different. The more colorful utopias, the better the discussion.

* [Nick Bostrom: Letter from Utopia](https://nickbostrom.com/utopia) (or read the whole "Deep Utopia" book, if you feel like it).
* [Dario Amodei: Machines of Loving Grace](https://darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-grace)
* [Isaac Asimov: The Last Question](https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html)
* [Iain Banks: Culture series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_series)
* TBD (suggestions welcome!)

No academic background is required, just a willingness to read, think, and share your thoughts. But please, read the text in advance and be ready to share its main ideas :)

The session will be discussion-based, lightly moderated, and limited to a small group to allow for real conversation.

I look forward to what the third AI reading club session brings!
