Strategy positions

Alignment firstendorses

Solve technical alignment before capability thresholds close

Editorial stance gives extended platform to existential-risk-aligned voices; interviews push interviewees on specific cruxes rather than sound-bite framings.

What I try to do on the podcast is take the technical arguments seriously enough to ask the second-order questions about them, in public, on the record.
