Artificial General Intelligence - when?

 According to the Register, Gartner, a respected technological research and consulting firm, has warned about AGI expectations:

"Gartner is warning that any prospect of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is at least 10 years away and perhaps not certain to ever arrive. It might not even be a worthwhile pursuit, the analyst says."

Ebook progress

 The ebook I mentioned in my last post has now been sent for review - which may take a while.

Meanwhile I am working on the next part of the history - the dispensation of Baha'u'llah, 1850 to 1892. This ebook is even more challenging as the amount of detail available is greater making it difficult to decide what to include and how to summarise. 

If my health permits me to work on the third part that will also be a big challenge. How to summarise the amazing travels of Abdu'l-Baha? I depend upon God's help to make progress...

Recent work


A quick update. I have completed a draft of a short history of the Faith for the period up to 1850, the dispensation of the Bab. It has grown bigger than expected - some 10,000 words. I made much use of Balyusi's great book on the Bab to guide me as to what to include - without quoting from it. 

I include in this post a version of the map I include in the book. I tried to ensure the date of various events was clear so that the stories of those involved can be related to each other.

Another ebook which relates the Bahá’í Faith to Christianity


 This ebook, "Jesus - in the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh", reviews what Bahá’u’lláh has written about Jesus. Both Bahá’ís and Christians may get new insights from the forty or so quotations. He is very clear about the Divine nature of Jesus.

It is hoped that those investigating the Faith will find it useful. Further reading suggestions are provided for those interested, along with other information about the Faith.

Please ebooks will be free to download during the Ridvan period (from April 21 to early May).
