I appreciate some of the challenges that the center studies.
Nuclear climate, bioweapons, biomistakes,
unbridled artificial intelligence.
I mean, we have the means to destroy civilization, if not the human race now.
How do you frame the work that you do at the center?
Yeah, I was struck by a statement in some of the center's materials that among the things you try to do is convene unexpected alliances to mitigate catastrophe.
What is that about?
I mean, you mentioned you want to keep it focused on solutions, options, approaches so that we don't retreat into our caves in despair.
I mean, that's the key here, right?
Reminding people that this is not inevitable if we try to bear down on some of these issues.
