What Does It Mean to Be Human in the Age of AI? With all the hype and speculation around artificial intelligence, its most profound effects have yet to be revealed. The bigger question is not just what AI is doing to our jobs but to our soulsour relationships with God and one another.In Godlike Power, Russell Haitch cuts through the noise to tell the story of three core developments: the push to humanize machines, drawing us into emotional bonds with AIs; the drive to mechanize people, rooted in Enlightenment reason and the Industrial Revolution; and how God became human, so that humans could become more like Godand how techno-religion proposes a rival path to divinity. These three stories offer contrasting religious visions. Haitch argues we are now confronted with two rival paths to divinity, and we must choose the right one. Godlike Power argues that the third storythe Christian story of real people becoming like Godoffers the timeless and hopeful vision we need, allowing us to journey into the age of AI on a path that leads to life.AI is the latest chapter in humanitys Promethean quest for godlike power. But it is also a story about our perennial quest for intimacy. Even as AI technology rapidly changes, Haitch argues we need wisdomsomething more than superintelligenceto attain the power and love we long for.With Godlike Power, you can wisely examine AI through a theological lens, enabling you to engage thoughtfully and responsibly with how AI is reshaping our understanding of identity, truth, and what it means to be human.

Your circuit works on the breadboard. Now learn the concepts that turn it into a board ready for production.Youve built the circuit. It works on your breadboard. Now what?For most makers and electronics enthusiasts, thats where the journey ends. Technical reference manuals assume you already know PCB fundamentals. Software tutorials show you which menu to click. Neither one teaches the underlying concepts: what a via is and why you need it, how layers work and why the stackup matters, how a schematic becomes something a manufacturer can actually build.Practical PCB Design fills that gap. Based on the PCB design course Mike D. Smith has taught at the University of Rhode Island for nearly a decade, this book introduces the concepts, terminology, and design judgment that turn a working prototype into a reliable, production-ready board. Every chapter pairs clear explanation with hands-on lab exercises, so youre designing alongside the reading.Youll learn how to: Create schematics and component libraries from scratch Understand PCB layers, stackups, and how material choices affect performance Place components and route traces with intention, not guesswork Set design rules and run checks before anything goes to fabrication Generate output files and work confidently with manufacturers The material is software-agnostic: whether you use KiCad, Altium, Eagle, or something else, the concepts apply. If youve ever wondered why your designs dont quite work once they leave the breadboard, or felt intimidated by the gap between working circuit and finished product, this book is for you.

How AI-generated images radically alter our interactions with photography as well as our understanding of it.In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies have made it easy for anyone to produce images that look indistinguishable from photographs. How do these AI-generated images change our understanding of photography? Should we consider them photography at all? In Digital Photography After AI, Amanda Wasielewski explores these questions as well as the historical and theoretical concerns for the field of photography after the widespread uptake of AI tools.The book connects AI-generated photographs to a longer trajectory of the history of photography, from Henry Fox Talbot in the nineteenth century through Surrealism and the mid-twentieth century of media to more recent times, including camera phone photography and social media. The author addresses AI-generated images in terms of the technique, form, and function of photography throughout its history, as well as the documentary function of photography, image resolution and filter effects, the surreal and real quality of photographs and AI-generated images, and the latters impact on representation and illusion.

In Future Words, Dominique Chen invites readers into a life shaped by multiple languages, cultures and disciplines. Born in Tokyo, Chen grew up moving between Japan, France and the United States, speaking several languages in overlapping ways. Here his journey from learning his first French sentences in a Tokyo classroom, to competitive kendo in Paris, to programming early video games, to raising a multilingual daughter becomes a meditation on how language forms the architecture of our world.Chen reflects on the bugs that appear in both human speech and computer code, on the impossibility and beauty of translation, and on how untranslatable words like the Japanese hakanai or the French ephemere carry entire worlds within them. He draws on philosophy from Deleuze to Sapir and Whorf, and on design, anthropology, and cognitive science, to explore the Umwelt: the unique sensory and conceptual world each being inhabits. By moving between memoir and theory, intimate domestic moments and global cultural history, Chen reveals language as a living environment something we adapt and co-create.Erudite and witty, this book will make you hear language differently and see life as part of an unfolding conversation with the future.Translated from Japanese by Shi-Lin Loh.

The shifting identity of the Atari 8-bit family, and how a single platform can provoke a universal debate about the purpose of computing.Throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, Atari became synonymous with arcade gaming, producing iconic games such as Pong and Asteroids. Yet the companys ambitions extended beyond games and consoles. In 1979, Atari launched its first 8-bit computera platform initially designed as a console before its release into the market as a computer. This ambiguous identity produced a curious marketing campaign that downplayed the computers main selling point as a gaming machine; within three years, Atari had switched tactics and repackaged the computer as a console. In At the End of the Rainbow, Pawel Grabarczyk examines how a device that had to shed its image as a glorified console later became a console accused of being a computer in disguise, resulting in its varied reception across the globe.As the Atari 8-bit platform faded into obsolescence in the West, it found unexpected success in other parts of the worldChile, Eastern Europe, and especially in Socialist Poland, where it led the digital revolution and kickstarted the domestic gaming industry. Grabarczyk traces these divergent trajectories across capitalist and socialist contexts and explores how the platforms fate sparked a larger debate about the boundaries between console and computer, between playful and serious usersand about the very purpose of computing itself.

An interdisciplinary glossary on machine vision and aesthetics within the humanities and beyond.The Aesthetics of Machine Vision brings together scholars, researchers, and artists who explore machine vision from various academic and nonacademic perspectives. Edited by Kathrin Maurer, Rikke Munck Petersen, Dominique Routhier, Kassandra Wellendorf, and Kristin Veel, this glossary creates a conversation between different terms (and scholars) and engages them in productive critical dialogue. The book constitutes a crucial forum where key terms in the discourse of machine vision can generate and enhance the understanding of these technologies and their societal ramifications. Hence, the book exceeds the idea of a glossary as a compendium of definitions within a specialized field. Rather, the entries in the book establish a heteroglossia across disciplines, thereby breaking new critical ground where different voices can learn from and enrich one another.Machine vision entails a variety of advanced technologies that can extract information from and process images on an automated basis. They operate in society in the fields of inspection, observation, and production. The term machine refers not only to softwareAI, deep learning, algorithms, imagingbut also to hardware as well as the wider material relations and operative contexts of machine vision. Its application spans traffic flow analysis, medical data analysis, agriculture, and securityfields as varied as the artists, architects, art historians, and critical theorists who have made machine vision their subject.

Being a grown-up isnt all its cracked up to be. What if we got back in touch with the joy, freedom, silliness, and creativity of being a kid?When we were children, we were passionate, imaginative, and curious, and we loved without judgment. Now we are adults . . . neurotic, anxious, socially inept, and oh so very lonely. Why did we rush to become grown-ups? Why must we trade dream jobs for high-paying ones, tree climbing for social climbing, and juice boxes for juice cleanses? Is it possible to get back what we lost?Julian Shapiro-Barnum, comedian, former child, and creator/host of the viral, beloved show Recess Therapy, has spent the past five years interviewing thousands of children. Hes talked to them about everything from love, anger, and death to Spider-Man and farts. And hes gathered a wealth of information leading him to believe that theres a lot we can learn from kids on how to live a better life.With tender humor and real wisdom, Julian gets to the heart of lifes biggest issues, seen through the eyes of the littlest among us: How to fully feel your feelings (and then let them go) Why reclaiming your imagination can make your life richer How to bring a sense of wonder back to your work Why breaking the rules is sometimes the right thing to doHow to Grow Up Without Becoming a Grown-Up is a guide for adults on how to get back in touch with the silliness and pure joy you may have been missing lately.

No magic. No shortcuts. No runtime to blame.You can ask an AI to explain how vtables work in x86. It will give you something that sounds right. What it wont give you is what Windows actually expects the vtable to look like, why method dispatch behaves the way it does at the instruction level, or what breaks when you deviate from convention. This volume of The Art of 64-Bit Assembly closes the gap between a plausible explanation and genuine understanding.Every chapter takes a construct youve used in C++, Python, or Rust, strips away the runtime, and rebuilds it from scratch in MASM, running under Windows. Objects, exceptions, closures, coroutines, concurrency: Each is dissected at the instruction level, with every decision made visible and explicit.What youll build: Object-oriented programs in MASM: vtables, method dispatch, and inheritance, from scratch by hand Windows structured exception handling (SEH) installed and managed at the instruction level Thunks, closures, and iterators that behave like higher-order functions Coroutines, generators, and fibers without resorting to HLL code Concurrent programs with real synchronization primitives, directly from assembly Unicode string handling done correctly, at the level where most code gets it wrong Domain-specific macro languages inside MASM, built from first principles If you already know assembly and want to stop taking the hard parts on faith, this is the book.
