Dan Wang: London is already a post-AGI city — 'not functional, but fun'
herbiebradley · x · 2026-10-30
Stanford Hoover History Lab fellow and Breakneck author Dan Wang argues we already live in a post-AGI city: London has already de-industrialised itself, creative industries will survive on global wealth, and the city will be 'fun, not functional'. He also discusses writing two nonfiction books, his all-of-it future worries, and classical liberalism.
