A black-and-white woodcut-style illustration depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. The four riders—symbolizing Conquest, War, Famine, and Death—are shown riding horses through clouds above a chaotic earthly scene. Death is represented as a skeleton, while the others wear crowns and armor. An angel with a trumpet hovers above them, and a beast appears to consume people below. There is Cyrillic text at the bottom and labels above each rider in Old Church Slavonic.

I woke up this morning thinking about how many #ExistentialThreats it's possible to live under. Cheers! 🥂

The sort of group houses and debates mentioned in the article related to #AI and #ExistentialThreats are not just a silicon valley thing. They used to exist in the DC area when I first came here (although a lot of people in those groups are now on the West Coast). www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
