Automating AI capabilities R&D is probably among the most harmful full-time jobs in the world and does not contribute to public benefit.
If we automated it tomorrow, this would probably result in human extinction because we are nowhere near being ready to control or align ASI.
This essay tries to present a positive vision of superintelligence but doesn't actually take ASI seriously at all. Why would humans still start and manage businesses once ASI exists?
Yet another "vision for ASI" that, as step 1, assumes that ASI won't happen.
