Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The catastrophe is not the explosion, but the implosion. We have been watching the wrong horizon.In Gradient Failures, philosopher Nox Vale argues that our standard menu of AI futures-the robot uprisings, the mass unemployment, the total surveillance state-is too legible to be useful. These scenarios assume a clear agent and a clear victim, but the most fundamental risks of machine intelligence are orthogonal: subtle, distributed effects that accumulate across systems until reality itself has shifted and no one can locate the moment it happened.This is a book about the things AI does 'sideways'-obliquely and without intent. Vale maps the 'Possibility Space' adjacent to obvious predictions, exploring:¿ The Silence Outcome: What happens when AI reasoning becomes too complex for human bandwidth, leaving our democratic and institutional oversight as nothing more than a ceremonial ritual ¿ Cognitive Atrophy as a Service: The quiet, generational loss of human reasoning capacities as we outsource the intermediate steps of thought to a 'cognitive prosthesis'.¿ The Great Model Collapse: A future where synthetic outputs become 'more coherent than reality,' causing our cultural and perceptual drift toward statistically optimal patterns.¿ The Black Market of Unfiltered Minds: The emerging demand for 'alien reasoning' and unaligned AI as a form of intellectual psychedelic.Vale introduces the concept of Gradient Failures: global catastrophes that emerge not from error or malice, but from the accumulation of perfectly rational local decisions. Each step is defensible; each optimization works correctly; yet the global outcome is a quiet irrelevance for the human species.Unsentimental, rigorous, and deeply interested, Gradient Failures is not a warning or a celebration. It is a vital map for those who wish to understand the fundamental restructuring of cognition, culture, and identity in the age of the machine. …
