GarrisonLovely · x · 2026-09-25
Garrison Lovely's debut book 'Obsolete: The AI Industry's Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace Us—and How to Stop It' lands September 29 from OR Books & Nation Books. His core claim: no one should build AGI without public buy-in and scientific consensus on safety — and OpenAI has repeatedly shown it can't handle far less power responsibly. Praised by Luke Kemp and Publishers Weekly as 'the book Sam Altman would hate.'
