This is well researched and well reasoned. I would recommend reaching out to as many ai-talking-heads as possible and asking them their thoughts or for a review.

Likely you’ve already done that, but this article is too good to ignore. I imagine there are even people in the administration that would genuinely value reading something like this.

Thanks Hera your approval means a lot to me 🫶

Def need to market it agreed. Let me know if you think of any specific talking heads I should DM

It would tie in well to ASI-2027. Consider adding a reference to that in the article… (I know you don’t think AI will be THAT impactful but still) So maybe send it directly to Scott Alexander and if you prostrate well enough and the heavens smile upon you he actually goes and reads it.

You could also ask grok to find relevant people on xitter.

Boom Supersonic's CEO just posted this about their AI software for rapid iteration and analysis:

It's hard to know how much is an exaggeration, but this is the exact type of automation that, if used in other industries and beyond just design, would allow us to translate from bits to atoms.
