Pragmatic review
Tegmark explores possible futures shaped by advanced artificial intelligence. Its pragmatic use is scenario thinking: articulate what kind of outcome is desirable, which assumptions lead there and what governance would be needed. Use the book to widen questions beyond productivity, rather than as a schedule for when a particular capability will arrive.
WTM Signal Review
WTM’s judgement: a stimulating future-oriented map, with scenarios whose probability is not established by their vividness. Separate current evidence, extrapolation and speculation. Decisions made today should remain accountable to observable conditions even when a long-term scenario is compelling.
One practical next step
Create three AI scenarios and name one decision that remains sensible across all three.
