How often is the author of a book still around to witness its 50th anniversary edition? The Selfish Gene is 50. I’ll be coming to America’s two great cultural landmarks, Chicago’s Symphony Center and New York’s Carnegie Hall, to speak about it. Two nights only.
Tickets:

The self-preservation instinct is not an inevitable consequence of intelligence, but something that emerges under specific conditions.
Assuming that AI "doesn't want to die" is simply projecting our own Darwinian psychology onto the machine.

A security camera captures the scene:
The Dog Who Refused to Let Her Go Home Empty-Handed.
She thought her bag was gone forever... but her Golden Retriever had other plans.
A brave chase, an incredible rescue, and the sweetest of reunions.

This 1944 map traces humanity’s great migrations. Sweeping arrows show how populations spread, mixed and settled over thousands of years. The racial labels are very much of their era, but the cartography is superb and we get an insight into how we saw the world 82 years ago. Source: buff.ly/71MZVD2
