Trump, Putin, and Friends Are Wasting Our Precious Time To Avert Catastrophe

This is David Atkins in the Washington Monthly, and he is saying that we have to get rid of these awful authoritarians because they are keeping us from addressing existential crises that are breathing down our necks: climate change, AI, Crispr, nuclear weapons, biowarfare, and so on.

I’m going to have trouble taking anyone seriously that puts AI as an existential threat.
