i just reread part of what we owe the future and a lot of what was said reflects the tension described here between accelerating AI so that we don't have technological stagnation & preventing AI development so we have more time to think about our technological philosophy.

Thanks for the rec, haven't read that one yet. Will add to my list.

Indeed, there is a tension there between moving forward quickly and taking a more calculated path. I'm not sure that we've gotten the answer right on those tradeoffs, but I think there is a lot that we can learn from the past without needing to totally reinvent the wheel.
