gratia examplae, someone I follow on Instagram posted about this book, seemed interesting, took a few screenshots and make this to-do item
Screenshot of a task in the Please app titled 'God & Golem, Inc. — Norbert Wiener,' with a thumbnail of the book cover. The task description reads: 'Book: God & Golem, Inc. by Norbert Wiener — "A Comment on Certain Points where Cybernetics Impinges on Religion". National Book Award. Story caption: "holy shit everyone should be required to read this book" (etymologynerd).Instagram Story from user etymologynerd, posted 18 hours ago, showing a hand holding up the black paperback cover of 'God & Golem, Inc.' by Norbert Wiener, subtitled 'A Comment on Certain Points where Cybernetics Impinges on Religion,' with a National Book Award seal, an eye-in-triangle symbol, and a red circular icon. Overlaid text reads: 'holy shit everyone should be required to read this book.'Instagram Story from user etymologynerd, posted 17 hours ago, showing a person with glasses and curly hair holding a black book against a brick wall. Overlaid text reads: 'wiener argues that our relationship to machines should be best understood through a theological lens,' 'AI/algorithms start as representational but then function operationally - kind of like the golem in Kabbalistic tradition, or Pygmalion and Galatea,' and 'this is dangerous because, like the broom in the Sorcerer's Apprentice, our creations can spiral out of our control - so how do we ethically "cast spells?"'
