Note: I only read the top-level text. Also, thanks for linking to aisafety.info!
“AI War” is a kind of illegible term, and none of the sections seem like they’d give me a definition. Also, the first couple of top level texts don’t form a clean narrative. In particular, the jump from boxes 1->2 and 2-> 3. From 3->4 onwards, they do form a narrative/clear argument.
One thing I did like is that you placed the most important info, “AI War seems unlikely to prevent AI Doom”, right at the top in big, bold letters. That does a decent job at conveying who this essay is for/what it’s about. But I feel like you could do better on that account, somehow? My gut is telling me an abstract/2-3 sentences at the top would be good. I know that’s weird, given how compact your argument is by default.
