We unpack “The Adolescence of Technology” and test its core claim: humanity is entering a dangerous teenage phase where power arrives faster than wisdom. We map five risks—autonomy, empowerment, tyranny, economy, and agency—and outline concrete steps to earn a safer future.

• the country of geniuses metaphor and what “powerful AI” really means
• autonomy and deception risks, and why constitutional AI matters
• democratized destruction and bio risks including mirror life
• surveillance that understands, personalized propaganda, and lock-in
• job displacement timelines and the abundance paradox
• meaning, agency, and the lure of algorithmic puppeting
• surgical interventions: chip controls, safety evals, and alignment
• distributing gains: public compute, data trusts, and dividends

Thanks for listening to the deep dive
