Teaching Silicon How to Feel: The Last Developer's Guide to Everything That Matters - Paperback

by Richard David Hames (Author)

What happens when we train powerful AI systems on a civilisation built on slavery, colonialism, genocide, extractive capitalism and other " unseen economies of suffering" . Futurist and philosopher-activist Richard David Hames structures the book around 17 catalysts that probe humanity's shadow - from fractal indifference to the algorithm of oblivion - and translate them into concrete design guidance for AI teams. Blending philosophy, trauma science and technical practice, this is a practical manifesto for developers, designers and policymakers who want to code compassion into the next generation of intelligent systems.
