Narayan S: The Bridgerton Paradox in
Artificial Intelligence

The Bridgerton Paradox in Artificial Intelligence

Balancing Diversity, Authenticity, and Responsible Innovation

A How-To Guide for Implementation and Management

AI for Public Relations

Depending on who you ask, artificial intelligence is our salvation or our doom; an overhyped, bigoted artist or the ticket to immortality and utopian abundance; just another tech fad or the last invention we need ever make. The AI discourse is confusing, messy, and frustrating. But the technology — and our response to it — will shape the future, whether or not we’re part of the conversation.
Obsolete is&nbsp;for those who are interested in learning more about AI, but unsure of where to start and who to believe. They may feel intimidated by the technical jargon, put off by dry and abstract prose, or skeptical of the loudest voices on the issue (like Elon Musk and Sam Altman). Obsolete will introduce readers to the basics of AI, the idea that it could lead to human extinction, the roiling three-sided debate surrounding extinction fears, and the people and companies trying to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) — that which can outwit humans across the board. The book will grapple with the core arguments animating the AI debates, which are, by turns, uncritically parroted and unduly dismissed. It will also cut through industry hype while seriously entertaining the implications of AGI.
The risk that AGI could result in our extinction is being recognized by a significant and growing number of leading AI researchers, industrialists, and policymakers, along with the wider public. Existential risk from AI has been explored in other books, but Obsolete will be the first to center its analysis on how both capitalist and great power competition make AI more dangerous.
Obsolete will also tackle questions like: Can machines actually outsmart humanity? If so, when could that happen? If AGI is possible, is it inevitable? Why are people trying to build a technology they claim could end the world? Is the idea of AI-driven extinction the product of a big tech conspiracy aiming to hype the technology and control its regulation? Why has the left mostly ignored or dismissed existential risk from AI? Why do some powerful techies welcome human extinction? How could AI enable stable authoritarian regimes? How could killer robots reshape war and the balance of power? What do China and the US want from AI? And why has it become the front line of their brewing Cold War? And finally: What can and should the left do about it?

Power, Profit, And The Race For Machine Superintelligence

Obsolete

This book frames "theories" as tools for understanding and applying real-world phenomena, bridging classic scholarship with the unprecedented challenges and opportunities posed by machine intelligence, digital platforms, and shifting cultural dynamics. Structured in four sections—Foundational Media Theories, Interaction and Impact Theories, Critical Media Perspective Theories, and Advanced and Future-Facing Theories—the textbook progresses from essential theories like Marshall McLuhan’s&nbsp;and Neil Postman's Media Ecology Theory to cutting-edge concepts like Ambient Media and Attention Economy Theories. With chapters addressing topics such as algorithmic influence, media ecology, participatory media, and posthuman digital embodiment, the book offers a holistic view of media’s past, present, and evolving futures. The 12 future-focused media theories presented include the introduction of Quantum Media Theory and Gestalt Media Theory as an integrated, cross-disciplinary, approach to understanding media theory from a wholistic “whole is more than the sum of its parts” perspective.Jack Myers&nbsp;is a Senior Lecturer on New Media Theory at the University of Arizona School of Information Sciences, author of&nbsp;The Myers Report&nbsp;column at Substack, and&nbsp;founder of the MediaVillage Education Foundation. He was an adjunct professor of Media Business at NYU Steinhardt. His honors include the Excellence in Education Award from the Global Forum on Education &amp; Learning, the George Foster Peabody Award, Academy and EMMY Award nominations for documentary filmmaking, the Crystal Heart Award from the Heartland Film Festival, the World Music Award as its producer, and a Top 10 Most Admired Leader in Tech by Pinnacle Tech Insights.

Resistance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Algorithmic Capital

How statistical invariances will help us build AI systems exhibiting human-like performance by following human-like strategies. Current machine learning systems crumble when the distributions of training and testing examples differ in spurious correlations. This is a major roadblock toward the development of advanced machine intelligence, which demands not only human-like performance but the deployment of human-like strategies. The prevalent approach in AI, fixated on recklessly minimizing average training error, falls short in producing AI systems capable of authentic out-of-distribution generalization. This book introduces the Invariance Principle, a new epistemological tool to unearth correlations invariant across diverse collections of empirical data. The Invariance Principle, encapsulated in the axiom “frame your problem so its answer matches across circumstances," will not only find its practical incarnation in the family of Invariant Risk Minimization algorithms, but also illuminate our understanding of causation. It will permeate topics such as environment discovery, large-language models, self-supervised learning, mixing data augmentation, uncertainty estimation, and fairness. The author argues that the Invariance Principle is a central inductive bias fueling advances across fields of knowledge, such as physics, metaphysics, and cognitive science. The final chapter includes personal examples of how invariance has shaped the author’s understanding of his own subjective experience, as well as how he has interpreted both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions.

The Invariance Principle

This open access book presents a pioneering methodology for dynamic system control, offering a mathematically rigorous and practically effective alternative to conventional state-space models, given that the study of nonlinear control of complex multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems has faced significant challenges.&nbsp;
Authored by the&nbsp;proposer of the Fully Actuated System (FAS) approach, this book volumes systematically establish a new paradigm for the analysis and design of dynamical control systems. Unlike traditional state-space methods—where control vectors cannot be explicitly solved—the FAS approach provides a model in which control vectors can be fully or partially determined, significantly enhancing control precision and system performance. Since its introduction, the FAS methodology has attracted substantial attention within the global control community and has demonstrated superior capabilities in managing nonlinear control problems.
Key Contributions:

A novel theoretical framework&nbsp;that advances nonlinear feedback control, addressing long-standing unresolved issues.
A structured, multi-volume exposition, covering&nbsp;Global FAS, Sub-FAS, and Unidirectionally Connected FAS, each building on the preceding concepts.
Comprehensive theoretical foundations&nbsp;with rigorous derivations, controller design methodologies, and practical implementation strategies.
Broad applicability, providing researchers with a robust analytical toolset and equipping control engineers with advanced techniques for real-world system development.

This work constitutes a&nbsp;seminal reference&nbsp;for scholars in control theory, nonlinear systems, and applied engineering, offering both a foundational introduction and an advanced framework for research and industrial application.
