"The Human Use of Human Beings"[1] was published by Norbert Wiener in 1950 and was revised later to exclude some controversial material. That original book is available online at this link.

Context

While recent proposals to asymmetrically slow AI advances seems hopelessly naive from a game theory perspective, there does seem to be some value in considering long-term ramifications, safeguards, and whatnot wrt to #AI.

I've revisited Norbert Wiener's classic, "The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society" (1950) as part of my own deliberation on the matter. His combined enthusiasm and caution towards the AI that would be born from Cybernetics half a decade later is insightful and notable.
