Chris Albon pans AGI 'Commanding Heights' thesis: abundant intelligence, dystopian future
trq212 · x · 2026-10-31
Chris Albon pushed back hard on Will Manidis's year-long essay series THE COMMANDING HEIGHTS, which presents an investment thesis treating abundant intelligence as inevitable and predicts a reordering of capital and economic power far beyond San Francisco. Albon calls it a coherent thesis for a dystopia — intelligence is abundant while ordinary people see no stable, optimistic future for their kids — and urges building a different world instead.
