and not only that. in your example of choosing to address the hull first over the engine, the engine problem is actually prescient. when taking time to debate about AGI, it is to debate a hypothetical future problem over real current problems that actually exist and aren’t getting enough attention to be resolved. and if we can’t address those, why do we think we’ll be able to figure out the problems of AGI?

The rephrase it as a short(ish) metaphor:

It would be like you’re marooned at sea in a sinking ship and choose to address the risk of not having a good place to anchor when you get to the harbour instead of repairing the hull.
