This is an interview rather than a primer, but this interview of Eliezer Yudkowsky that came out on 2/19/23 (contains crypto ads), by two interviewers who host a crypto podcast and very much had no idea what they were walking into, seems like it would serve as a good introduction in its own way.
That was an absolutely hilarious interview from an absurdist point of view, watching some crypto happy-go-lucky dudes be confronted with Cthulhu in all its mind-bending horror. Eliezer has a great sense of humor to have accepted to go on that particular podcast.

I have a hard time believing they didn’t know what Yud is about. Like, Google “Eliezer Yudkowsky AI” and you don’t exactly get back a basket of roses.
