Machines of Loving Grace
Dario Amodei's positive AI thesis. Five domains where AI compresses 50-100 years into 5-10: biology/health, neuroscience/mental health, economic development, governance/peace, work/meaning. Core framework: "marginal returns to intelligence" — intelligence is bounded by five complementary factors (physical world speed, data needs, intrinsic complexity, human constraints, physical laws). Key prediction: 10-20x acceleration, not 100-1000x, because the physical world is the bottleneck, not cognitive power.
