The End of Reading: Illiteracy & Apathy
Details
Thanks to all who came out for a great discussion on superintelligence! We will continue discussing artificial intelligence and the manifold implications it is having on society next month with the reading of a recent piece by Rose Horowitch, published in the Atlantic: The End of Reading is Here
I almost certainly am not supposed to be sharing the article this way, so please consider subscribing to the Atlantic for a year; or, perhaps, doing a free trial and proceeding month-by-month. The article online can be found here.
Admin Note: Maintaining this group takes quite a lot of time, money, and energy. Please consider making a donation to ensure the viability of the South Florida Socratic Club.
We will continue our meetup at Panera. Please save the tables if you get there early.
