I've been worried about x-risk for a very long time. But for some reason AI x-risk has never felt intuitive to me.
On an intellectual level AI risk makes sense to me, but I would like to be able to visualize what a few plausible AI take-over scenarios could concretely look like. I would really appreciate if anyone could share books and movies with realistic AI elements and great storytelling that helped you to connect emotionally to the scariness of AI x-risk.
Alternatively, I would appreciate recommendations for any content, posts, ideas, revelations, experiences, "a-ha" or "0h-shit" moments, etc. - anything that helped you realize how seriously scary AI is and motivated you to work on it.
Thank you for the advice!
love the answers so far. will also toss in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (allegedly partially inspired Biden's EO), Her (almost a decade before character.ai), Westworld, and Moon.
