I use AI every single day. It's literally my job to test it, review it and try to break it. But after reading "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies," a book about superhuman AI by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares, I started thinking about AI differently. A lot differently.
Based on the title of the book it would be easy to think about AI in an overly dramatic, sci-fi, end-of-the-world way. But, surprisingly, the book didn't scare me into doomsday thinking. Instead, it made me more aware of using tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini in a practical way. Essentially, the book changed how I use and experiment with popular AI tools.
