You've probably heard the case that advanced AI could wipe us out, maybe often enough to recite it. This book doesn't try to scare you or talk you out of it. It audits the argument piece by piece, to see which bits are solid and which are doing more work than they've earned.
It looks at the probabilities nobody can really defend, the analogies that keep breaking, the long chains of 'if this, then that', and how earlier forecasts actually turned out. It also gives the opposing case a fair hearing, untangles six different problems that get lumped together, and finishes by owning up to what the author got wrong.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (167 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
