One way that the banking crisis is similar to AGI, and not in a way that cheers me up, is that people were making money in the lead-up-- they didn't want it to be over because they were riding the boom. Coming up with near-AGI-- self-improving programs which aren't very generalized-- is going to be very advantageous.
Also the ways they were making money were very technical, so people with technical skillsets that might be useful in mitigating risk were drawn in to making money rather than risk mitigation.
