Yudkowsky’s 2008 AI as a Positive and Negative Factor in Global Risk is a pretty good read, both for the content (which is excellent in some ways and easy to critique in others), and for the historical interest (where it’s useful to litigate the question of what MIRI was aiming at around then, and because it’s interesting how much dynamic Yudkowsky anticipated/missed, and because it’s interesting to inhabit 2008 for a bit and update on empirical observations since then).
