The folks that we're about to discuss did appear to make some life choices based on things that, you know, were more thought experiment than real. So let's bring this into the real world. Who is Ziz and how does Ziz become involved with the rationalists?

One is called the Machine Society. Intelligence Research Institute, or MIRI, and the other is called CIFAR, the Center for Applied Rationality. And these are places where you can attend workshops and lectures about AI alignment, about AI safety, which are sort of the broad terms for talking about making sure that AI doesn't kill all of us. So she's really interested in this stuff.
