Why Eden Needed the Forbidden Fruit: A Lesson in Love and Free Will

From here, I borrow the language of my faith. I hope readers who do not share that faith will read it as an old thought experiment.

The AI Safety Debate Has Lost the Plot. We Asked 10 Experts What the Real Nightmares Are

In early fall, I felt my anxiety rising from its usual baseline. Was it September’s back-to-school energy? The looming midterm elections? Nope, I realized with annoyance: It was AI—again. Only this time, instead of its purveyors warning of massive job displacement, they were foretelling mass extinction. Who needs
