If left unchecked, a car will drive straight into anything in front of it.

No shit, Sherlock. Let's do better at critique.

I'm mad that I can't go left and right at the stop sign

I can only imagine what Donnie will do to prevent this. If his inner circle allows any truth in, he sees the writing on the wall. This is a dangerous time to have petulant 15-year-old man at the helm, especially one whose wet dream is to nuke something before he dies.

My AI Risk Framework How can we think about coexistence with superintelligence?

Here is how I am thinking about #AI risk. I had messy thoughts and needed to untangle them and apply some structure. If that's you, too, this may help. open.substack.com/pub/thetreel...
