Nice post. I also have been exploring reasoning by analogy. I like some of the ones in your sheet, like “An international AI regulatory agency” --> “The International Atomic Energy Agency”.
I think this effort could be a lot more concrete. The “AGI” section could have a lot more about specific AI capabilities (math, coding, writing) and compare them to recent technological capabilities (e.g. Google Maps, Microsoft Office) or human professions (accountant, analyst).
The more concrete it is, the more inferential power. I think the super abstract ones like “AGI” --> “Harnessing fire” don’t give much more than a poetic flair to the nature of AGI.

Please submit more concrete ones! I added “poetic” and “super abstract” as an advantage and disadvantage for fire.
