Driven to Extinction

<p>In the discourse of AI safety there is a gap in the conversation and this book aims to fill it. While most argue over the technical problem of alignment no one really delves into the <em>systemic </em>issue with the necessary depth. That is: even if we can align superintelligence how do we force competitive actors to meaningfully deploy it on a global scale? When winning is everything and safety is a distant priority how can corporations countries and labs in competition risk handicapping their ASI with barriers to optimisation if it means losing the race?</p><p></p><p>While most critics only touch on these arguments <em>Driven to Extinction</em> dives deep into the logic of competitive dynamics and game theory when applied to an intelligence so vast it can effectively rewrite its own reality.</p><p></p><p>This is not a conversation most are ready for. There is no hedging language that frames the majority of AI safety discussions. It's just rigorously established premises leading to their most logical conclusions - and those conclusions are as robust as they are dire.</p>
