SMRTR summary
A new book by Adam Becker challenges the vision of a future with limitless space colonization and superintelligent AI promoted by tech billionaires. "More Everything Forever" argues this transhumanist fantasy is unrealistic and ignores real global problems. Becker examines AI's limitations, like chatbot hallucinations, and contends that simply training on more data won't solve underlying issues. The book asserts technology alone cannot address political and social challenges facing humanity, which require human solutions.
