Hey Friends! 👋

Join me for a laid-back, coffee-sip ☕️, cake-munch 🍰 discussion of Supremacy (2024) by Parmy Olson.
This gripping non-fiction read offers a fresh look at the race for AI dominance, driven by bold figures like Demis Hassabis and Sam Altman, and shaped by tech giants like Google and Microsoft.

💁‍♂️ Book summary & about the author : https://ig.ft.com/sites/business-book-award/books/2024/winner/supremacy-by-parmy-olson/

Sample quote: "We want to get there with a maniacal sense of urgency. Maniacal.” Musk believes that with brain implants, humans will be able to prevent a future artificial superintelligence from wiping us out, and so he wants Neuralink to perform surgeries on more than 22,000 people by 2030."
