[Reading Group] Preparing for the Intellgience Explosion

This week we're discussing Preparing for the Intelligence Explosion by William MacAskill and Fin Moorhouse – an attempt to answer the question of what we should do to prepare for the "disorienting range of developments an intelligence explosion would bring".

The piece covers what an intelligence explosion might look like, who benefits, what could go wrong, and what individuals and institutions can do today to improve the odds of a good outcome.

We expect participants to read or listen to a significant portion of the article before attending. Besides reading (it's quite lengthy!) you can choose to listen to the narrated article, and/or use the following NotebookLM we prepared:
