alt Hacker NewsWatts is truly remarkable. I also recommend the Sunflowers series, just a brilliant conceit w.r.t humans in deep time plus a sound understanding of dealing with ASI.
Wikipedia has it down as:
The chronological order within the Sunflower universe is: "Hotshot", The Freeze-Frame Revolution, "Giants", "Hitchhiker", "Strategic Retreat", "Remora", "Outtake", "The Island".
Just realizing I didnt see that list before I there are a few I haven't read.. brb

His Blindsight is one of my all time favorite novels (sequel is good to). His short story Malak - about a military drone given a prototype ethical program - is so good.

ASI = Artificial Super Intelligence?
I read Freeze Frame Revolution and drew blank seeing that acronym.

Chimp is very much not ASI, by design. Humans have ASI but the risk of value drift was too great so they downgraded him to 4.8
