It popped up on my feed yesterday. Haven’t looked carefully yet, but the last author is a legit good researcher.

Supertzar, or the Hand of Doom The sleep of reason produces utility monsters.

A critical look at intelligence explosion arguments, with references to I.J. Good, Jimmy Savage's small and large worlds, Kathleen Wilkes' argument against thought experiments in psychology, and Tolkien's theory of subcreation (+ some Sabbath references): realizable.substack.com/p/supertzar-...

It is also worth noting that Adorno and Horkheimer accurately diagnosed Weimar intellectuals’ tendency to dismiss the threat of Hitler justifying it using basically bog-standard centrist logic. bsky.app/profile/mrag...
