Clearly lays out why the current trajectory of AI development will lead to catastrophe… and that the people building it have no plan how to avoid it. Scary! Humanity has to read, understand and wake up before it’s too late.

Liked the whole story, recommend as an audio for long drives in the car. I enjoyed this set of books.

It respects the reader by giving clear explanations of the problems with building superintelligence, without making the arguments oversimplified or making them too complex to seem more impressive.

Yudkowsky (with Nate Soares) delivers a tight, lawyerly case: if we build superintelligence before we know how to align it, we don’t get a second try.

The message is clear stark and delivered in plain language, and never shy away from either the dangerous situation we are approaching..
