I read both kinds of books, comedies and tragedies!
This list is apparently a random selection from among the books I've ever read and want to read, exported from Goodreads. There is no way to know what the selection criteria was, but from this moment forward in late 2022, I'll try to keep up on the books I read. There's no way I'm going to be accurate with the books I've read until now. Honestly, it's such a mess I should just start over, somehow.

Review of 'Superintelligence' on 'Goodreads'
I liked it, good pop sci book, but my buddy Erick Galinkin who is a PhD candidate in AI/ML says it's pretty bunk. So, entertaining, can give you a vocabulary to discuss and explore these topics, but the conclusions as presented are pretty wild.
