I often don’t have much to say about these newsletters, since they usually only straightforwardly summarize things, or make statements that would take me a long time to engage with, but it seemed good to mention that this edition was particularly helpful to me (because I’ve been considering whether to invest the time to read all of the book, and this made it more likely that I will, since I seem to disagree with at least a bunch of the things you summarized here)
Glad to hear it! Yeah, I do expect many people to disagree with many parts of this book. My guess is that it mostly boils down to a difference in predictions about how we build powerful AI systems.
