Alignment will happen by default. What’s next?

With some space freed by classic alignment worries, we can focus on the world’s actual biggest problems. My top candidates (in no particular order):

What about nuclear war? I think a pre-emptive strike is plausible if one country may get power over the world with aligned AI.

Four ways learning Econ makes people dumber re: future AI

I appreciated the attention to detail, e.g. Dyson Swarm instead of Dyson Sphere, and googol instead of google. Maybe I missed it, but I think a big one is that economists typically only look back 100 or so years so they have a strong prior of roughly constant growth rates. Whereas if you look back further, it really does look like an explosion.
