If you care about AI safety and also like reading novels, I highly recommend Kurt Vonnegut’s “Cat’s Cradle”.It’s “Don’t Look Up”, but from the 60s[Spoilers]A scientist invents ice-nine, a substance which could kill all life on the planet.
If you ever once make a mistake with ice-nine, it will kill everybody.
It was invented because it might provide this mundane practical use (driving in the mud) and because the scientist was curious.
Everybody who hears about ice-nine is furious. “Why would you invent something that could kill everybody?!”
A mistake is made.Everybody dies.It’s also actually a pretty funny book, despite its dark topic.
So Don’t Look Up, but from the 60s.
