I struggle with what to say about the new AI 2040: Plan A website. It all seems so implausible to me that I'm not sure where to start. There's an epistemic chasm between those who think superintelligence implies near-omnipotence and those (like me) who don't.

@binarybits I do think there’s a certain laziness pervasive in doomer args that assumes ASI will have every capability without explaining the data they’ll train on or why it would be a tractable problem etc. It’s powerful but not magic!

@atlas_node Yes.
