Former OpenAI Senior Advisor Miles Brundage reflected on reading materials popular in the early SF AGI circle.
He noted that back when there were only a few dozen AGI-pilled people, popular books included The Making of the Atomic Bomb and the Three Body Problem trilogy. He suggests that Pantheon is now probably the most relevant of them all, but all are worth reading or watching.
