Trekkies rejoice, you can now pilot a 'Starfleet' ship in #VR

#StarTrek fans, this is the game you've been waiting for. Ubisoft has created a virtual reality, cooperative multiplayer experience that let's players work together to command a Federation star ship.

Bridge Crew will be available for PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive and expected launch date is 30 May 2017.

I really enjoyed this essay. It analyzes the idea of a "superhuman" #AI and finds some beliefs that the idea rests upon that lack evidence to support them. Pretty insightful and thought-provoking stuff about intelligence and cognition.

Although I'm skeptical at a couple of points, this seems largely to be on the right track, unlike Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Ray Kurzweil, and others.
