A flimsy hypothesis supported with hyperbolic statements strung together. A meandering story with very little connective tissue. I really hoped this book would be enlightening but instead it’s cheap imitation of scholarly work.
Drags on and rambles about theory of the why or thought of it. Just too much for me to stay listening made it almost half way
Terrifying
Review from If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies →
Should be a must-read for every sentient being capable of reading. Holy F&@$%# S$&%.
Well reasoned and well written. Please read this. Please share with others.Everyone should hear this warning
A powerful message perfectly constructed food for nightmares. Their message should permeate every household before its too late.
Reminiscent of the paranoid terror surrounding the Y2K bug
Review from If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies →
Reasonably entertaining, but the single most logically fallacious book I’ve ever encountered. I was a young computer professional when the devastating Y2K bug hype came and went, instantly quieting that “sky is falling” crowd. No one ever admitted how silly they were. Not that there wasn’t genuine issue, but its globally disruptive and possibly unresolvable..
Yudkowsky provides a very approachable explanation of how AI training is done, and the alignment problem in general, and for those reasons the book deserves a rating above 1. The problem with the book is that the main premise of it – Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All – is asserted but not answered…
If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies is a well-written and clearly argued examination of the existential risks posed by superhuman artificial intelligence. Yudkowsky communicates his message with precision and urgency, maintaining focus and clarity throughout. The prose is sharp, the reasoning coherent, and the audiobook performance is excellent—measured, articulate, and fully suited to the intensity..
very informative, thought provoking, nightmarish and love that they end it with a suggestion for what the individual can do. I knew that Ai was bad, but didnt really know why. This changed that, Move over climate change, there’s a new existential dread in town
