Linkpost: How Fast is Post-AGI Growth?

This is a linkpost for How Fast Is Post-AGI Growth?, an episode of ForeCast, Forethought’s interview podcast. Fin Moorhouse had me on to discuss my series on the AI industrial explosion. We talk about how input-output tables let you estimate how fast a self-replicating economy could grow, and why the answer is roughly annual doubling even under conservative assumptions. We also get into raw-material scarcity, thermodynamic limits on growth, which biological organisms replicate fastest, and why physical output matters for hard power.
