It inspires me to be pro active in learning deeper about AI. I like optimistic view of our future life with AI. Bravo 👏

Mac does a great job when writing about physics to make it interesting. Where he wonders too far into the sci-fi space, it’s becomes hard to read. Great topic and great content, just feel like it could’ve been more concise. Nonetheless, it’s not like I’ve written a book worth reading so kudos to him on such a difficult and needed topic.

It felt like the book was a data dump of everything the authors knew or anyone has ever speculated about AI. I wish it offered more poetry and less math. The book is too much of a Star Wars hype than a cool headed prospective on IT.

A thoughtful and erudite review of the state of artificial intelligence as well as the challenges and opportunities it offers humanity. I found the analysis of consciousness and the question of whether machines will ever be consciousness. The author is marshalling thoughtful people to work together to avoid a future where insensitive machines rule the for roost.

This book explores the nuances of AI and its impact from many angles, with a strong basis in physics. I loved how the author breaks down and weaves together mind-bending scenarios and concepts to leave you thinking about what AI will mean for us here on earth now and for millions of years to come. It is a fascinating read and leaves you astutely aware of what challenges - largely ethically and technologically - that lie ahead for us as we evolve into a world of AI.

Just finished the exciting new book, "Life 3.0" by Max Tegmark about the seemingly inexorable rise of artificial intelligence. The book was outstanding in both scope and depth of knowledge that Tegmark is able to present in an engaging and extremely thought provoking way. We are about 50 years away from "Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)", computers with the ability to accomplish any cognitive task at least as well as humans. With the rise of these computers, humans will no longer be the smartest entities on the planet. What kind of future do we want? Highly recommend the book to anyone interested in biology, and computers. Great pictures and graphics too.
