More Everything Forever

AI Overlords, Space Empires, and Silicon Valley's Crusade to Control the Fate of Humanity

Book •

Adam Becker's "More Everything Forever" delves into the exaggerated promises and dangers surrounding AI, particularly those promoted by Silicon Valley figures.

The book critiques the apocalyptic fears of superintelligent AI, arguing they are science fiction rather than scientific fact.

Becker acknowledges AI's current value but highlights the overhyped capabilities and the troubling ideologies, such as eugenics, intertwined with AI rhetoric.

He criticizes the focus on AI dominance over addressing real-world issues like climate change.

Ultimately, the book warns against the potential for increased human misery and degradation resulting from unchecked AI development.
