I wish I would have read this on kindle instead of listened on audible. The narrator makes everyone sound like a robot and makes all the women sound super old and haggard. I couldn’t take it anymore at times and had to stop listening. I finished the series eventually but it was hard. I liked..

Before it is too late, before it is too late, before it ia too late ….
This book is a call to action, and a desperate plea, to stop this nonsensical development of AI systems that we already know we cannot control. It’s terrifying how compelling their argument is. I wish it wasn’t so! I only wish more people understood the danger. It’s like we’re sleepwalking into Armageddon. This should be..

Furthermore, beyond the most anodyne suggestions, the authors fail to mention any practical steps to avert such a calamity. This book is fear mongering about AI by computer scientists…

It explains with excruciatingly logical and unbeatable arguments why ASI mustn’t be attempted, at least not presently.I especially liked how chapters begin with something akin to fables: it does make it all much easier to digest.The ending is brilliant:..

Review from If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies →
A movie would convince more people.Loved the performance and the message is fascinating on how we risk extinction today.
I have hope for humanity. AI is not our friend and it is foolish to believe that AI company’s have humanities best interests at heart. heed the warning!
Knowing at least moved my mind from worrying about politics😂 seriously – I thought our brains turning to mush and unemployment were our only risks – there is so much more. Simple stories accompany all technical explanations.
