When ChatGPT launched November 30, 2022, AI was already in your hands. Within 60 days of launch, ChatGPT had over 100 million first time users.

Our existential threat may not be AI, climate change, nor nuclear weapons, rather humans adding more complexity to the world than we can effectively manage. It already led to the collapse of every advanced society thus far.
