| 0:15.4 | I began my month-long inquiry into AI concerned, and now I'm profoundly alarmed. |
| 0:21.6 | Even if AI does exactly what we want, and its adoption into society goes well, I cannot see how it won't eventually go bad. |
| 0:30.6 | But the chance also of a catastrophic outcome is ridiculously high, and not nearly enough people are aware of that fact. |
| 0:41.4 | Trends are accelerating. Systems are breaking, and rapid change is upon us whether we're ready or not. |
| 0:48.7 | So let's get ready. To become more resilient, it's vital that you take action right now. Let me be your |

| 1:42.2 | fiat money system is breaking if it's not growing exponentially, |
| 1:45.0 | well, it has a fatal math error lurking at its core. And anybody who studies it for any length |
| 1:50.9 | of time knows this. All right. Now, while there are many concerns we're going to discuss about |
