[ExI] Yudkowsky - new book on AI dangers - Published Sept 2025

[Keith Henson]

It doesn't matter.

Unless technical progress is stopped we will face whatever problems AI
generates (including possible extinction) sooner or later.  AI has
upsides as well as downsides, It might prevent extinction if it
develops sooner.

In any case, you can't stop it in a world where you can run an AI on a
high-end laptop.

Keith

Best wishes,

Keith
