My question after reading the paper is: if he believe with conviction everything he wrote, why did he recently become an investor instead of either working in policy or working on the tech itself?

If the tech is going to transform humanity into a new economic paradigm and give the country controlling it a decisive advantage to be the sole superpower, being an investor is either futile or meaningless. Even doing nothing and just enjoy the ride seems to be more rational.

Doesn't he say right at the start that basically nobody is pricing this stuff in right? Becoming an investor makes a ton of sense if you earnestly believe that.

My point is that it is meaningless to make a lot of money for his scenario

Do you think all previous wealth will simply be 'reset' in some way, come the AI rapture?

[hiAndrewQuinn]

Yeah, that seems like a weird assumption to make.

I guess one could make the argument that wealth will be useless in a post-scarcity scenario, so why not spend for today. But, and this might just be me speaking, I sleep a lot better at night now having some nonzero amount of money invested and going to work for me one way or another.

Even he needs a nest egg.
