From the title I assumed this would be about futures contracts for inference, similar to CME's new GPU compute futures. Instead "Futures" the the name of some weird political think-tank that's envisioning the collapse of society.

Guess they need to create hype somehow.

Looked into the author's history, credentials, background, and education. OpenAI couldn't find a single more qualified person to lead their AI futures?

> how should free society be restructured to preserve individual rights and agency while accommodating the emergence of transformative AI?

Tie all machine scaling to human time. Want to spy on me for a day? Some human has to spend an hour of their life to permit it.

Title clarification: Introducing AI Futures, the blog of OpenAI’s new Strategic Futures team

Not some kind of finance futures thing.

Can't imagine anyone I'd want reshaping society less than OpenAI.

Meh, started off good, then went transparently into the “we should have a duopoly with Anthropic” pitch.
