Who should I add to this? Also, did I get anyone's view wrong? What's your own view about AI companies' attempts to build ever-larger data centers in the race to build superhuman AI?

Hundreds of scientists, including 3/4 of the most cited living AI scientists, have said that AI poses a very real chance of killing us all. We're in uncharted waters, which makes the risk level hard to assess; but a pretty normal estimate is Jan Leike's "10-90%" of extinction-level outcomes.

Computer security experts, national security professionals, and Grimes come together to say: "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" is WEIRDLY GOOD. I'm dying to hear people's reactions to the book; please spam me with your thoughts as you read it.
