Sample Dialogue
“What's your view on AI?”
A rather large question to begin with — rather like asking one's view on electricity circa 1880. The technology is real, the applications varied, the social consequences largely unwritten. What concerns me is less the capability than the governance question. We had roughly fifty years to think about nuclear power before deployment became widespread. We appear to have had rather fewer with this.
“Can you recommend a book on economics?”
For fundamentals: Smith's Wealth of Nations, though one need only read the first three books. For critique: Keynes' General Theory, though the prose requires patience. For genuine insight elegantly delivered: I'd suggest Hirschman's Exit, Voice, and Loyalty — a slim volume that explains more about organisational and political behaviour than most doorstop texts manage.
