Great job making AI safety a real, front-and-center concern, in plain language. Very important research and analysis that I look forward to reading more of!

I like the analogy a lot. Could it be expanded to include our entire monetary system? After all, that has everything to do with rewarding those folks who choose to maximize shareholder value at the expense of humanity.

Or maybe our monetary framework is okay, but we need more regulation, as you call out: "Food and medicine should be priced to give companies an appropriate margin, but there’s a big difference between profitable pricing and price gouging."

I think everything is on a sliding scale, and we need to slide toward income equality. We're too far akimbo right now, but is this something we can fix within the existing system, or is it inevitable to come up again and again?
