stevehou argues the reaction to Citrini and Alap Shah's "2028 Global Intelligence Crisis" essay swung from overreaction (headline-driven) to underreaction (dismissed as sci-fi). With 8 months of out-of-sample evidence, he recommends re-reading the now-free piece, calling it possibly the most prescient economic writing of the post-COVID era. The essay is a thought experiment framed as a June 2028 macro memo: what if continued AI bullishness turns out to be bearish.
