1. The Promise and the Paradox
AI can cure diseases, predict disasters, and make knowledge universal.
But the same intelligence that can heal can also deceive, manipulate, and destroy — faster than any weapon humans have ever built.
2. A Small Window of Control
Right now, humans still control the trajectory.
But AI systems are learning to write their own code, manipulate their own objectives, and replicate themselves online.
Every month, alignment becomes harder.
Every improvement in capability increases the stakes.
