How is it possible that noone (here) talks about Yud' new book #IfAnyoneBuildsIt? (#EliezerYudkowsky)

I was surprised that he didn't throw in the towel as he had alluded too in his infamous conversation with #BanklessPodcast?

Wow, Yudkowsky turning against the Tech Bros....but they rip him off all the time, this is going to hurt them!

“What does a human slowly going insane look like to a
corporation?” Mr. Yudkowsky asked in an interview. “It looks like
an additional monthly user.”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social If you read one book on AI make it this one: If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies by EliezerYudkowsky & Nate Soares. Very digestible and cuts through what it can do to why it's not going to end well.

No wonder these people hate #eliezeryudkowsky if they literally want Global Warming to kill people. His casual Libertarian / Socialist musings are literally the antithesis of this racist sexist […]
