I discuss how the automation wave is already starting with white-collar job openings at a 12 year low in the U.S. I also talk about how we cannot simply count on taxing AI to support automated workers, as countries that don't tax will outcompete those who do. We therefore need international cooperation, based in MAIM, from the original Superintelligence Strategy paper.

I also discuss how bioweapons cannot be avoided via restricting open weight models as originally suggested in Dan's paper. Rather we need to heavily invest in bioweapon defense, and in particular use AI for wastewater monitoring and accelerating metagenomics (detangling mixed DNA).
