“GPT surpasses all ... when it comes to conversation, research, and writing. ... creating an algo[rithm] that sells stocks based on a large training set of materials, correlations to past crises, and commonsense heuristics aimed at not being the last one out of a burning barn is trivial. The danger ... is not in the single system but in the resonance of millions of similar systems doing the same thing at the same time. No science fiction is needed.”

“Among the most accessible of writers on this subject is the systems theorist Ervin Laszlo. Many of his seminal ideas, articulated with the average reader in mind, come together in his description of the ‘Akashic field’, the interactive realm of quantum fluctuations, culminating in a supercoherent state empowering all structures in creation, whether atoms, organisms, or galaxies. Laszlo goes on to raise a crucial question, central to the deliberations of this book. ‘Could it be that our consciousness is linked with other consciousnesses through an inter-connecting Akashic field, much as galaxies are linked in the cosmos quanta in the microworld, and organisms in the world of the living?’ The link with contemporary brain studies is informatively reviewed by Wallace.”
