Linkpost: AGI Will Set Off an Industrial Explosion
This is a linkpost for AGI Will Set Off an Industrial Explosion, an essay I wrote for AI Frontiers. It condenses the Industrial Explosion series into an argument for a general audience: once AI can do what human workers do, robots become cheap, and an economy run on cheap robots can double its physical output roughly every year. I also discuss what yearly doubling would mean geopolitically and why this estimate is conservative rather than speculative.
