Corpus has published the Russian edition of If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares. Both are well-known researchers in AI safety, AI alignment, and the risks of superintelligence.

In the book, the authors explain clearly and step by step why the title isn't hysteria, exaggeration, or clickbait. The point is simple and unpleasant: if anyone on the planet actually builds AGI or ASI using technology anywhere close to what we have now, humanity is screwed.

I hadn't read Soares before, but Yudkowsky has always had this rare combination of deep expertise and the ability to talk about it like a normal human being, without disappearing into galaxy-brain jargon every thirty seconds. So you don't need a specialist background: a lot of work has clearly gone into making the text understandable for people who don't happen to have a PhD in applied math.

Anyway, the book is great. I honestly can't remember the last time I tore through something like this in one sitting. It's available on Ozon, at Chitai-Gorod, and even in certain suspiciously nautical corners of the internet — which I condemn, obviously, but if your black-flag frigate is already parked outside your building, what can I do? :)
