Four scientists accidentally create an AI that rapidly advances toward superintelligence.

Hors de Contrôle

"Oh this is much worse than I thought" has been our prevailing thought throughout our journey.

We read, learn more, think this, then find it's even worse - and the cycle repeats.

We're likely not alone in feeling this way.

So we made it a story, simulating voices navigating AI to AGI development and the path to Superintelligence.

We hope it helps people relate, prepare, and care about the importance of superalignment.
