Fantastic post!. This is exactly my experience talking to economists too, and this is a great summary of four core errors they make when thinking about AGI.

September is coming soon, and with it the new book by none other than the legendary Eliezer and Nate!. If you haven't already preordered, I highly recommend you do so, I think this will easily be one of the most important books of the year.
Nate Soares and I are publishing a traditional book: _If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All_. Coming in Sep 2025. You should probably read it! Given that, we'd like you to preorder it! Nowish!

Don't know if you can/should Fight?. It's ok to be a Civilian. In a Good World, everyone could be. But if you won't Fight, I ask only one thing of you:. Don't get in the way.

Without Love, It Cannot Be Seen. If you don't care, if you have no Love, none of this matters. I can teach you HOW to Fight, but not to WANT to Fight. Do you feel the Call?
