"Humans are the only species that can create fictional worlds, like #StarWars. But are we ready to face the consequences of our imaginations? #Sapience" I love how Harari's work makes me think about the power of human imagination and its potential impact on society. #HarariFan

Book review: Usurpation, Sue Burke
★★★★☆

A different sort of book than Semiosis and Interference, taking place entirely on Earth long after the second Pax expedition returns. Can the bamboo keep humans' chaotic conflicts in check? Where do the robots fit in? With so many forms of intelligence, who counts as a person, anyway?

New book review on my website!

Interference, Sue Burke
★★★★☆

An intriguing followup to Semiosis that weaves several drastically different sentient species (both plant and animal) into a story about factions, community, freedom, communication and war.

Star Trek: Picard - Season One
★★★☆☆

I have mixed feelings about the first season of Picard. But later seasons have given me a new appreciation for it.

A recent study, multi-proxy speleothem-based reconstruction of mid-MIS 3 #climate in South Africa, undertaken by a team of scientists from #SapienCE, used new techniques to reconstruct past climate and its variability.

For judging the level of #sapience of a so-called #AI, the #TuringTest is useless. But it does demonstrate something very important: humans are really bad at judging the level of sapience of other humans.
