I would also recommend God and Golem, Inc., A Comment on Certain Points Where Cybernetics Impinges on Religion: https://monoskop.org/images/1/1f/Wiener_Norbert_God_and_Gole... Norbert Weiner was an atheist but he talks about three areas religion is the only thing to have really examined that relate to capable AI: omniscience, omnipotence, and worship (gadget worship). It has very prescient stuff on blackbox learning/distillation, reinforcement learning/reward hacking, alignment through human feedback. His The Human Use of Human beings and Cybernetics are extremely good too and have more of a mash of the themes between Rerum Novarum and Magnifca Humanitas, and more near-term automation. | ||
