I'm excited to announce that my new popular science book will be out on September 24! It's published by @mitpress in their Essential Knowledge Series, so it's short and aimed at a broad audience, assuming no technical knowledge. The topic is Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI: are we there yet? How could we get there? And what does general intelligence even mean? Along the way, there's some history of AI, some theories of intelligence, quick excursions into philosophy of mind and evolutionary biology, and plenty of sci-fi references. There's also a discussion about how we as a society could make use of more generally capable AI. Exciting! Spoiler alert: while I try to represent arguments fairly, I come down pretty strongly against scaremongering, doom scenarios, and excessive regulation. I'm quite proud of this little book. Would you please do me a favor and pre-ordering it? Buy one copy for yourself and two for your parents! (And please reshare/retweet, thanks!)

"Eureka" means "I have found it" (in Greek), exclaimed by Archimedes when he finally discovered a method for determining the purity of gold. I looked that up.... #GoldRush #WordsHaveMeaning

I grew up here, but just learned that "Eureka" is state motto of California. Just one word.

Very much looking forward to upcoming changes in App Store and what means for @wappier customers with 700 additional price points and new tools that will make it easier to set prices on per country basis. #gamedev #pricingoptimization
