About this audiobook
$106 Billion Gift? He gave it all to a new Endowment: thirteen vast organic sanctuaries devoted to the pure happiness of lost and homeless pets, their families, and adopters, funded in perpetuity.
His Wealth: He solved the AI alignment problem in hardware, removing the risk of human extinction. It became the global standard, from smartwatches to data centers, making him one of the wealthiest alive. At retirement, worth $108 billion, he still didn't know what to do with himself.
His Motivation: M. Dalton Reed was fourteen when he lost his dog Milo in the mountains above the Great Salt Lake. He kept Milo's collar for life, a focus and a good-luck charm, and pledged this would never happen to anyone else.
His Challenge: Interests long dependent on managed animal misery saw the Endowment as a threat and came for it with all they had. The man who made AI safe must now fight to keep a promise made to a lost dog: "I will build something that makes sure this never happens to anyone else."
