The Book That Could Wake Up the World to AI Risk | Warning Shots #9

This week on Warning Shots, John Sherman, Liron Shapira (Doom Debates), and Michael (Lethal Intelligence) dive into one of the most important AI safety moments yet — the launch of If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, the new book by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares.

We discuss why this book could be a turning point in public awareness, what makes its arguments so accessible, and how it could spark both grassroots and political action to prevent catastrophe.

Highlights include:

* Why simplifying AI risk is the hardest and most important task

* How parables and analogies in the book make “doom logic” clear

* What ripple effects one powerful message can create

* The political and grassroots leverage points we need now

* Why media often misses the urgency — and why we can’t

* This isn’t just another episode — it’s a call to action.

* The book launch could be a defining moment for the AI safety movement.
