Machines of Loving Grace
Dario Amodei's article "Machines of Loving Grace", with a title inspired by Richard Brautigan's 1967 poem, is a great read. Introducing himself as a "perceived pessimist" is a little bit of a strawman... but I appreciate the caution he advocates while barely containing his enthusiasm. The focus being on scientific advances enabled by hashtag#AI, you will find me a big fan.
Let me also mention that former Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times science writer John Markoff has a 2015 book with the same title (link), which I would describe as a story of the tension between AI and IA, Artificial Intelligence and Intelligence Augmentation. If you haven't read it, now is a good time -and worth revisiting if you have read it.
