Wonderful! I have long wondered why economists seem uniquely incapable of thinking clearly about AGI, far beyond the standard confusions and inability.

This effect creates one more unhelpful group of “expert” AGI skeptics. This explains why that’s happening despite good intelligence and good intentions.
