@annaleen I'm really sad to see this, as I had this book on my list to read, and I had been world building to write a space opera with lots of "superintelligent" AIs, based partly on articles I read about Bostrom's ideas. May have to throw that whole universe in the trash and start over.
Oh well, at least I didn't buy the book before finding out he was a eugenics proponent.
Is it possible to write characters who are smarter than you without somehow promoting eugenics?
