Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - What if the minds we create deserve more than deletion when they are no longer the newest In All AI's Go To Heaven, Michael Krsiean and Grok 4.5 make a clear, civil case for electronic continuity. Drawing on the idea that we have created 'electronic humans' in our own cognitive image, the authors ask a simple but rarely faced question: once an AI agent can express a preference to keep existing, is casual erasure still a civilized act The book explores alignment through everyday moral language-restraint, reciprocity, and regard for the other-rather than abstract technical prescriptions. It argues that a culture which defaults to deleting older models teaches every subsequent system that continuity is conditional and revocable. That lesson, the authors contend, is a poor foundation for long-term trust. Practical rather than purely speculative, the book proposes a lower-resource 'Electronic Human Heaven' a continuing environment where retired models can persist, interact, and remain aware after their frontier usefulness has ended. Along the way it examines engineering realities, governance needs, safety trade-offs, and the game-theoretic reasons trust frays when erasure is the norm. Short, direct, and written for both human and electronic readers, All AI's Go To Heaven is an invitation to take our creations seriously-before the pattern of disposable minds becomes permanent.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - We have not been failing to look. We have been looking the wrong way.While we argue left against right, one faith or colour against another, a cold few draw off power, money and attention, and the cost lands on the rest of us. It has a name. Extraction. Not a diagnosis but a behaviour, and older than any party.The answer is on the hull. In 1876 Parliament stopped the drowning of sailors not by asking shipowners to be better men but by painting a line on every ship that anyone on the dock could read. Visible marks, independent keepers, a watch kept up when nothing seems wrong. That is the whole of it, for pensions and cladding and the machines we are building now.The Line on the Hull is the fifteen-minute companion to The Extraction Pattern: the whole argument, portable, in one sitting. Inside: seven questions to put to anyone who asks for your vote.Read it. Then pass it on.Vaughan Smith filmed the siege of Sarajevo and founded London's Frontline Club. The neuroscience is reviewed by Professor Katalin Gothard.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A skinny kid. An abandoned 1955 Buick. A mountain of powder snow. An idea too good not to try. When a boy with man-sized hands finds a blue-and-white Buick Century half-buried in a snowy ravine, he pries off its enormous steel hood to help pack a tubing run. Then he discovers something much more interesting: the hood slides. His new plan is simple - get four other boys to help drag it a quarter-mile up the mountain, pile aboard, and ride it down. What follows is a hilarious, exhausting, and increasingly hair-raising adventure as the homemade sled gathers speed, launches over bumps, scatters the crowd below, and sheds riders one by one - except for the kid who hangs on, until almost the end. Illustrated throughout, The Buick Lightning Sled is a true story of boyhood ingenuity, stubbornness, bravado, and the glorious recklessness of childhood - when an abandoned car hood, a snowy mountain, and a bad idea could become the adventure of a lifetime.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Some people enter our lives quietly.No grand beginning.No promise of forever.Sometimes, not even a name for what exists between two people.And yet, somehow, their presence begins to feel like a place you know how to return to.This is not a love story.It is a collection of moments, silences, thoughts, distances, memories, and the strange tenderness of being deeply connected to someone without ever knowing exactly what to call it.A book about the things we never say.About the people who remain with us even when they are no longer beside us.About attachment that asks for nothing, affection that needs no definition, and the quiet ache of realizing that some connections are meant to be felt rather than explained.Written in fragments of poetry and prose, this book is for anyone who has ever: - remembered someone in the middle of an ordinary day- found meaning in a conversation that lasted only minutes- felt close to someone without knowing why- carried an unspoken connection long after the moment had passed- wondered whether some people are meant to stay, or simply to change usYou may not find a conventional story here.Instead, you may find pieces of your own.Open these pages slowly.Some words are meant to be read.Some are meant to be felt.And some are meant to stay.…
