The almost Dr. Igor Krawczuk joins me for what is the equivalent of 4 of my previous episodes. We get into all the classics: eugenics, capitalism, philosophical toads... Need I say more?

If you're interested in connecting with Igor, head on over to his website, or check out placeholder for thesis (it isn't published yet).

Because the full show notes have a whopping 115 additional links, I'll highlight some that I think are particularly worthwhile here:

The best article you'll ever read on Open Source AI
The best article you'll ever read on emergence in ML
Kate Crawford's Atlas of AI (Wikipedia)
On the Measure of Intelligence
Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Wikipedia)
Yurii Nesterov's Introductory Lectures on Convex Optimization
