ATTENTION: Book III — Heroes and Villains in The Valley: True Story of Artificial Intelligence

After the war of the titans, the battlefield shifts. It is no longer just corporations fighting: it is ideologies, philosophies, irreconcilable visions of the future. On one side, the accelerationists: Marc Andreessen and his Techno-Optimist Manifesto, the e/acc movement, a generation of young engineers convinced that slowing down artificial intelligence is a crime against humanity. On the other, the doomers: Eliezer Yudkowsky, Nick Bostrom, Geoffrey Hinton - the fathers of the technology itself who now fear they have opened Pandora's box. Those who believe the probability of surviving AGI is less than one percent. >This volume -Book III of the ATTENTION series- chronicles the brutal clash between heroes and villains who, as in any good epic, are neither pure nor absolute. They are only human. Humans who, without knowing it, are building humanity's last invention.
