AI safety researcher David Krueger released his talk from a post-AGI workshop, pushing back on the popular 'managing the transition' framing. His analogy: would we attend a 'post Martian takeover workshop' casually discussing how to organize society once aliens dominate? He argues the framing presumes human loss of control and should be rejected outright rather than accepted as inevitable.
