I’ve been rereading a lot of the early-2022 AGI pieces like AGI Ruin lately. This week I sat down and went point by point and tried to synthesize my thoughts on both its then-contemporary responses, and the literature/news since 2022. I didn’t originally expect to write a post about it, or come away with such a strong conclusion, but after I got started I realized that very few people have published similar analyses since 2022, and I thought it would be worth it to give it a retrospective. The draft is here and anyone with the link can comment: https://www.lesswrong.com/editPost?postId=PgJYwnN7fZKipgMz4&key=23a7ad4c79a7d1e48f07548b68678b
Since the details of these things are important, I’m looking to get as much feedback from smart people as I can before I actually publish; if you are at all involved in the field of AI safety or just a curious bystander I’d be happy to get your thoughts, either in this shortform or on the above link. If you do, I’d encourage you to give the post a read-through without reading other peoples’ comments first, just so I have a good diversity of responses

I tried to make some comments but i could only reply to existing comments and just gave up.
I just dismissed some of the already-responded-to comments and some of the comments I have yet to get to but will respond to inside the comment box.
I misunderstood how the checkbox works and now the comments are inaccessible. Whoops.
Everybody who already responded: I did read your comments and am considering them/updating the post in response, using my squishy memory box.
Oops, we should allow some way of accessing archived comments.
