Thank you for the warning. After several promptings on various threads I've been wondering whether I should give the series another chance, in spite of the first book having been so unbearable.

I'm glad to hear that I might not have to do this after all.

I think it's an inappropriate comparison, much more apt to compare humanity to God and the AI to man. We have assumed the capacity to create, and this is our Adam. Perhaps, by our philosophy or shared understanding we have surpassed an element of what we consider to be God, and perhaps AI will in many ways surpass this concept and ourselves. But not for a long time yet.

The qualifiers we suppose to AI or ourselves don't approach the capacity of God. Lets say an AI develops a method of pure surveillance. Over what area? in what network? If the thing is not throughout creation, it is only figurative language to compare it to the almighty. God is in the bones of things, the fabric being of reality. No fact or facet of the creation can outgrow or usurp the thing itself.

I don't get why people compare physical entities to uncounted infinities.

I hated it. At the time, I thought the plot and them were just feminist man-bashing. However, as 'murica goes more wingnut and Roger Ailes tried to get it put in one of the cute anchor's contracts she had to be sexually available to him...I think I was wrong.

>i respond 'it's all penis-murder and jumping out of windows, if i recall correctly'
>she texts backs "lmao what nah man you gotta think deeper than that.. read between the lines"

How should I respond, /lit/?

Reading books and at the same time complaining for what reason other people read their books.

You have a lot to learn OP.

Book Titles Thread

I wrote a novel and I think the title kind of sucks. What kind of titles do you think are catchy? Short ones with two words?
XX?
X and the X?
etc...

What are some of your favorite book titles? Try to be unbiased whether the book was good. Just catchy titles.

Siddhartha is one of my favorites books.

by the way I have a 1958 edition.

You know how the 36th Chamber of Shaolin is supposedly a kung fu movie? But it's actually a training movie since the guy spends 80 minutes of the movie training at the temple, learning kung fu and then kicks ass for like 5 minutes?

I want a book like that. Give me a book with LOTS OF TRAINING. And a bit of asskicking or some sort of pay off to the ridiculous amount of training.
