In Artificial Intelligence, Mitchell turns to the most urgent questions concerning AI today: How intelligent - really - are the best AI programs? How do they work? What can they actually do, and when do they fail? How humanlike do we expect them to become, and how soon do we need to worry about them surpassing us? Along the way, she introduces the dominant methods of modern AI and machine learning, describing cutting-edge AI programs, their human inventors, and the historical lines of thought that led to recent achievements.

Great Read
Revisado: 05-31-23
Well informed and dives deep into technical areas without alienating the laity (like myself). If you want to know more about AI this is a great start. As relevant at the time of this review (2023) as it was at publication.
Other reviews have said the narrator was robotic but I didn’t find that to be the case. You can always sample before you buy if that’s an issue for you.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 544
At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes' still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3,000 years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion - and indeed our future.

Nearly a hundred years after its publication, Kurt Gödel's famous proof that every mathematical system must contain propositions that are true - yet never provable - continues to unsettle mathematics, philosophy, and computer science. Yet unlike Einstein, with whom he formed a warm and abiding friendship, Gödel has long escaped all but the most casual scrutiny of his life.

Dodger Stadium is an American icon. But the story of how it came to be goes far beyond baseball. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, those communities were condemned to make way for a utopian public housing project. Then, in a remarkable turn, public housing in the city was defeated amidst a Red Scare conspiracy.

Woodward, the number-one international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.

An inside look into the “decision-making” of the US President who occupied the office from 2016-2020. Most of the book
Is in that President’s own words. He did 18 interviews for the book. Now that his administration is gone, the book is interesting and not terrifying.

A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his father’s, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world - modern, industrial America - pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, trying to claim his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and disgust.

Odd choice for narrator

Strange choice for the narrator. He didn’t really seem to understand what he was reading most of the time.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. Rather, it offers a deeply reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization in the 21st century. The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

Jennifer Egan’s spellbinding interlocking narratives circle the lives of Bennie Salazar, an aging former punk rocker and record executive, and Sasha, the passionate, troubled young woman he employs. Although Bennie and Sasha never discover each other’s pasts, the listener does, in intimate detail, along with the secret lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs, over many years, in locales as varied as New York, San Francisco, Naples, and Africa.

This is a great book read by great actor. It’s engaging and beautifully written. Highly recommended. If audible published Roxana Ortega reading the phone book it’d probably be great.

A father's murder sets the stage for a riveting tale of intrigue and passion that also explores profound issues of faith and ethics. This classic novel - considered Dostoevsky's finest work - tells the story of crazed landowner Fyodor Karamazov and his four sons - Dmitry, Ivan, Alyosha, and the illegitimate Smerdyakov. Fyodor's murder sets the stage for a complex tangle of moral and ethical struggles that involve patricide, betrayal, sacrifice, and glory.

Revisado: 07-01-19
Obviously, It's a great book. It's a classic, the translation is beautiful as all of Pevear and Volokhonsky's translations are. However...
The performance alternates between overacted and totally flat which would be excusable if not for the poor sound quality.
It sounds like it was recorded in a bedroom with a dynamic mic and then EQ'd and compressed within in an inch of its life. The lo-fi "this is audible" mnemonic that precedes all Audible books, sounds better. You'll find yourself checking to see if your audio device is working during the many slightly too long pauses. You'll be jarred by the sloppy edits. This book shouldn't have passed QC. It's drastically worse than any other audible book I've ever downloaded.
That said, it's still a classic if you can get through the performance and recording.
