ATTENTION

After the war of the titans, the battlefield shifts. It is no longer just corporations fighting: it is ideologies, philosophies, irreconcilable visions of the future.

On one side, the accelerationists: Marc Andreessen and his Techno-Optimist Manifesto, the e/acc movement, a generation of young engineers convinced that slowing down artificial intelligence is a crime against humanity.

On the other, the doomers: Eliezer Yudkowsky, Nick Bostrom, Geoffrey Hinton - the fathers of the technology itself who now fear they have opened Pandora's box. Those who believe the probability of surviving AGI is less than one percent.
Meanwhile, the open source war erupts: Meta releases its models, Yann LeCun preaches free AI, OpenAI and Anthropic push for regulation. Leopold Aschenbrenner publishes Situational Awareness and Washington prepares for an arms race with China. And at the center of it all, money -Microsoft's money, Google's money, the ghost of Sam Bankman-Fried- keeps corroding the idealism that once made this story possible.

This volume -Book III of the ATTENTION series- chronicles the brutal clash between heroes and villains who, as in any good epic, are neither pure nor absolute. They are only human. Humans who, without knowing it, are building humanity's last invention.
