A challenging, but intriguing look at AI and the hyperscaler companies trying to be the first to reach artificial superintelligence. The physical book was designed with deliberate care and taste. The format though was a bit challenging with definitions of technical terms running along a sidebar and way too many footnotes along the bottom. I appreciated the definitions (the technical speak was intense), but combined with the footnotes it created friction in trying to get into a flow. I was constantly stopping to read an item ancillary to the main text. If you have that much to say, then drop the footnotes and put in the main text. Overall, I understand AI a bit more and also understand how blind these companies are to what they are creating. It all seems a bit reckless. Sure terminator scenarios are part of the recklessness, but also the audacity of these companies to apply so much money and resources towards an unknown destination is hard to rationalize.
