The facts on the card

- Bostrom is the author of Anthropic Bias: Observation Selection Effects in Science and Philosophy, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies and Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World.
- Bostrom believes that advances in artificial intelligence may lead to superintelligence, which he defines as "any intellect that greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest".

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Nick Bostrom article was read about 180,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 75: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
