- It's very likely that we are not going to solve this complex crisis (compelling and harmful/deadly (still on target for 2030 AGI) AI Tech development) issues if we avoid trying to solve the challenge of building consensus across humanity around what kind of technology is too dangerous to uncontrollably develop plus roll out continuously
- The companies will be fine. Life matters more than business. I urge focusing on the life angle: regulation, political messaging, consensus building, looking for the best in humanity, protecting intelligent life.
