Yuval Noah Harari's new book, Nexus, explores the evolution of human information networks, arguing that our historical misuse of information shapes our future, especially with AI.
Harari criticizes the naive belief that more information equals better understanding, questioning why, if we are wise, we breed self-destructive technologies.
He proposes that AI should be viewed not simply as a tool, but as an agent capable of independent decision-making, which complicates its consequences greatly.
Harari observes that, like junk food, we're consuming more junk information, leading to poor decision-making processes exacerbated by AI's autonomous capabilities.
