This eye-opening narrative journey into the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence reveals the dangerous ways AI is exploiting the unconscious habits of our minds—and the real threat it poses to humanity.
“The best book I have ever read about AI.” -Roger McNamee, New York Times bestselling author of Zucked
Artificial intelligence is going to change the world as we know it. But the real danger isn’t some robot that’s going to enslave us: It’s our own brain. Our brains are constantly making decisions using shortcuts, biases, and hidden processes—and we’re using those same techniques to create technology that makes choices for us. In The Loop, award-winning science journalist Jacob Ward reveals how we are poised to build all of our worst instincts into our AIs, creating a narrow loop where each generation has fewer, predetermined, and even dangerous choices.
Taking us on a world tour of the ongoing, real-world experiment of artificial intelligence, The Loop illuminates the dangers of writing dangerous human habits into our machines. From a biometric surveillance state in India that tracks the movements of over a billion people, to a social media control system in China that punishes deviant friendships, to the risky multiple-choice simplicity of automated military action, Ward travels the world speaking with top experts confronting the perils of their research. Each stop reveals how the most obvious patterns in our behavior—patterns an algorithm will use to make decisions about what’s best for us—are not the ones we want to perpetuate.
Just as politics, marketing, and finance have all exploited the weaknesses of our human programming, artificial intelligence is poised to use the patterns of our lives to manipulate us. The Loop is call to look at ourselves more clearly—our most creative ideas, our most destructive impulses, the ways we help and hurt one another-so we can put only the best parts of ourselves into the thinking machines we create.

Like several other torrents I’ve tried recently, this one never gets past the downloading metadata stage. So, 0 stars, I’m afraid.
February 17th, 2022
please upload history of palestine
February 17th, 2022
It’s downloading for me, but incredibly slowly. Availability is supposedly 100% though!
February 17th, 2022
Please be patient - it is uploading but a little slow. Perhaps an issue with it being a hybrid Bittorrent v1 and v2 torrent?
Let me know how it goes!

Nothing wrong with this torrent, it’s seeded and working. 38 seeds currently.
Don’t complain about speed on brand new torrents.
@mtr: when you find the same problem with “several other torrents” the problem is with you. Ask in the forum and maybe someone can help you.
February 18th, 2022
@mtr - Had a similar problem when ABB moved from .nl to .fi. Transmission would behave like that claiming torrents were corrupt and the magnets wouldn’t get past 66%. Then switched qBittorrent and no longer had that problem. Everything is working fine. Depending on the client you’ve been using, you might need to consider changing your client.

My experience is similar to ssafe05. I switched from Transmission to Ktorrent and the download is going well. 5 stars to Free Palestine!
February 20th, 2022
Downloaded in less than 2 min. with μtorrent 3.5.5.
June 4th, 2022
Hi could someone reseed this? I’ve been “waiting for metadata” and seen zero seeds for all of May 2022. Thanks in advance.
June 9th, 2022
The magnet link failed to work, but when I removed (and deleted) the torrent, and then downloaded the .torrent file, it downloaded in about 2 minutes :)
So the magnet, or my qBittorrent client config, or my connection may have been the issue.
Thanks to OP and Seeders.
