> After all these years and decades, I remain convinced: the most important work isn’t stopping AGI—it’s making sure we raise our AGI mind children well enough.

“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child!”

If we can't consistently raise thankful children of the body, how can you be convinced that we can raise every AGI mind child to be thankful enough to consider us as more than a resource? Please tell me, it will help me sleep.

That is a very high bar. All you need to do is make sure that we raise a variety of AGI mind children that generally have a net positive effect on their parents. Which works pretty well with humans.

Could you at least try and remember that written record of this complaint is literally thousands of years old?
