Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust
Gary MarcusTim Spalding 🇺🇦(I believe I saw this metaphor in Gary Marcus' Rebooting AI, but I'm not sure. It's appropriate anyway. AI has repeatedly been stalled when people thought that it progressed linearly and would necessarily improve with time and more data. Self-driving AI is a good example.)

Istanbul: Memories and the City
Orhan PamukTim Spalding 🇺🇦Visited the “Museum of Innocence” in Istanbul, created by Orhan Pamuk to accompany his novel of the same name. I had not read the novel. It was odd; The Museum takes pains to deny it, but I think I ought to have read the novel. Do I know anyone who both read and visited it? https://t.co/xB1IUja2dK

Peter GreenTim Spalding 🇺🇦@vintagehistoria Peter Green, The Hellenistic Age. Nearly everyone has an image of the classical world that is ponderous, ideal, stodgy. The Hellenistic Age was the opposite, and Green is great writer.
