Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As heard on NPR's "Science Friday," discover the book recommended by Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink, and Adam Grant: an "accessible, informative, and hilarious" introduction to the weird and wonderful world of artificial intelligence (Ryan North). "You look like a thing and I love you" is one of the best pickup lines ever . . . according to an artificial intelligence trained by scientist Janelle Shane, creator of the popular blog AI Weirdness. She creates silly AIs that learn how to name paint colors, create the best recipes, and even flirt (badly) with humans—all to understand the technology that governs so much of our daily lives. We rely on AI every day for recommendations, for translations, and to put cat ears on our selfie videos. We also trust AI with matters of life and death, on the road and in our hospitals. But how smart is AI really... and how does it solve problems, understand humans, and even drive self-driving cars? Shane delivers the answers to every AI question you've ever asked, and some you definitely haven't. Like, how can a computer design the perfect sandwich? What does robot-generated Harry Potter fan-fiction look like? And is the world's best Halloween costume really "Vampire Hog Bride"? In this smart, often hilarious introduction to the most interesting science of our time, Shane shows how these programs learn, fail, and adapt—and how they reflect the best and worst of humanity. You Look Like a Thing and I Love You is the perfect book for anyone curious about what the robots in our lives are thinking. "I can't think of a better way to learn about artificial intelligence, and I've never had so much fun along the way." —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals

Download or read book Look Me in the Eye written by John Elder Robison and published by Crown. This book was released on 2008-09-09 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “As sweet and funny and sad and true and heartfelt a memoir as one could find.” —from the foreword by Augusten Burroughs Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien yet always deeply human.

Download or read book You Look Fatcalgary written by Rickthepoetwarrior and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is bigger better? Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well. Obesity and historically high rates of diabetes, grid-lock, unfettered corporate malfeasance, and a bloated governance no longer responsive to its citizens are but some of the symptoms of a society sickening itself on greed. Indebted from birth to their corporate masters the public no longer has the wherewithal to resist or the physical strength to raise their fat asses off the couch. Instead they assuage their egos with more of that which is destroying their own physical and mental well-being. This fat poem describes the foibles of this me (us) first mentality and attempts to convince the public that perhaps things have gotten out of hand.

Download or read book When You Look in the Face of the Rose written by Sylvia Runkle and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-04-24 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This channeled writing is the first of four books channeled through Sylvia Runkle by a Spirtit Guide identified as Jonathan. However, the channeling seems to come from a group more than from a single entitiy. The book revolves around Sylvias first two of four training trips to Russia in the mid 90s, but are not really about these trips. The essence of the message seems to be about raising the vibrational level of the people of Earth as well as of the Earth itself. In Book 4 we read Earth must raise vibration level, must entrain in one direction. When the vibrations reach a critical mass, Mankind can make the shift into its next reality. The message is at the same time spiritual and practical in a day to day way. The reader is actually listening in to a message directed to Sylvia. The beginning is a somewhat awkward as Sylvia feels her way into receiving the message. In fact the book ebbs and flows as the connection is stronger or weaker. The awkward parts have been left in to allow an aspiring channeler to get a sense of how it happens. And they are well made up for where the message flows. Sylvias small personal drama mentioned in Book 1, (Will the anticipated, but not confirmed, first trip to Russia actually occur?) is amusingly resolved early in the second book. The channeling ends (at the end of Book 4) as she writes on the plane returning from the second training she presented in Russia. These trips add background, but the message transcends the setting. The channeled writing comes as a rhythm. Each days writing begins with short phrases written as verse as the channeler blends with those coming through, and then switches to a rhythmic prose. The rhythm seems to be an important part of the message and they often encourage saying certain words aloud, such as peace, home and love. The words and the rhythm seem somehow to blend to affect the vibrations of the reader.

Book excerpt: For skeptics, art lovers, and the millions of us who visit art galleries every year—and are confused—What Are You Looking At? by former director of London’s Tate Gallery Will Gompertz is a wonderfully lively, accessible narrative history of Modern Art, from Impressionism to the present day. What is modern art? Who started it? Why do we either love it or loathe it? And why is it such big money? Join BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz on a dazzling tour that will change the way you look at modern art forever. From Monet's water lilies to Van Gogh's sunflowers, from Warhol's soup cans to Hirst's pickled shark, hear the stories behind the masterpieces, meet the artists as they really were, and discover the real point of modern art. You will learn: not all conceptual art is bollocks; Picasso is king (but Cézanne is better); Pollock is no drip; Dali painted with his moustache; a urinal changed the course of art; why your 5-year-old really couldn't do it. Refreshing, irreverent and always straightforward, What Are You Looking At? cuts through the pretentious art speak and asks all the basic questions that you were too afraid to ask. Your next trip to the art gallery is going to be a little less intimidating and a lot more interesting. With his offbeat humor, down-to-earth storytelling, and flair for odd details that spark insights, Will Gompertz is the perfect tour guide for modern art. His book doesn’t tell us if a work of art is good; it gives us the knowledge to decide for ourselves.
