I wished there was an ASI novel set in China 🇨🇳
🤖 - and now it exists! From the same guy who wrote Crystal Society.

Highly recommend it. I started off my day "just reading a chapter" and ended up reading it all in one sitting.

Inspired by the author's own research on corrigibility.

In '96 I proposed Fire-The-CEO stock markets, which show impact of CEO leaving on stock price. Today, you can bet here on impact of ~$1T CEO Performance Award on Tesla stock price. Current estimate: it adds ~6.5%. https://t.co/hq6x7IbCqc
