A New York Times bestseller

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life.

The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control. As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on humans than on the species itself, so would the fate of humankind depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.

But we have one advantage: we get to make the first move. Will it be possible to construct a seed Artificial Intelligence, to engineer initial conditions so as to make an intelligence explosion survivable? How could one achieve a controlled detonation?

This profoundly ambitious and original book breaks down a vast track of difficult intellectual terrain. After an utterly engrossing journey that takes us to the frontiers of thinking about the human condition and the future of intelligent life, we find in Nick Bostrom's work nothing less than a reconceptualization of the essential task of our time.

Budget-Friendly Mouse
Color: Graphite
The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Wireless Mouse is a solid budget-friendly option that gets the job done. Setup was quick and easy, and the Bluetooth connection has been reliable. It's comfortable enough for everyday use, and the battery life is good. While it doesn't have premium features or an advanced design, it's a dependable mouse at an affordable price. If you're looking for a basic wireless mouse without spending a lot, this is a good choice.

⚠️PLEASE READ⚠️
Color: White
This mouse is great but, if you were planning on hooking it up to an iPad or tablet or some kind it will work but, if you’re trying to play a game or something it’s not the best like if you’re trying to play Roblox I doesn’t work because Roblox doesn’t support keyboard and mouse on iOS. BENEFITS this mouse is lightweight, it’s very easy to hook up to devices, it’s very comfortable and smooth but, it’s a little small for me but besides that it’s GREAT. The mouse also looks clean and professional if you’re ever trying to brag😂. It’s also very compatible with all the devices I’ve tried I hope this review was helpful.

Great bluetooth mouse, easy connectivity and long battery life
Color: Graphite
I really do like this mouse, the price is great, the bluetooth connection is a great newer technology that I love, so nice not to have to worry about a dongle that can get lost, or can occupy a USB port you need for something else! This connects quickly and easily, does NOT take hardly any time to wake up (like some wireless mouse!), and is reliable. It's also fantastic this does not require charging and apparently the battery lasts like a year? So great. Only down side, the reason for 4 stars is the click is pretty loud. My old mouse had a lot of problems that were solved by this one but the click was very quiet so the sound of this one can be annoying.

Stopped Working
Color: White
Awesome little mouse that works great with my MacBook. I will say that the battery only lasted 6 months, not a year, but that's not a deal breaker for me. This is still a 5-star product. Smooth scrolling, comfortable in my hand, no glitchy-ness or functional issues at all. Thanks Logitech.
