In 1903, [we barely left the ground](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_Flyer). By 1969, [we stood on the moon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11). What once seemed impossible became reality through persistence and optimism.

## Augmenting Humanity
|
||
|
||
- We reject AI doomerism. Focus on possibilities, not fear
|
||
- Children represent our hope. We build for their future
|
||
- Humanity progresses faster than it feels
|
||
- AI is a tool—like electricity or the telephone. It's not the first revolution, nor the last
|
||
- History shows resilience. We adapt, mitigate risks, and move forward
|
||
- Airplanes once terrified—yet they helped humanity reach the moon and connect the world
|
||
|
||
## AI Safety
|
||
|
||
- Safety is non-negotiable. Protecting people is the baseline
|
||
- AI safety == human safety. If we haven’t solved human safety, we haven’t solved AI safety.
|
||
- AI alignment == human alignment. Misaligned societies can’t build aligned systems.
|
||
- AI safety requires human alignment first
|
||
- Fear and progress must be balanced—panic stalls; awareness guides
|
||
- Building for our kids ensures safety is built-in, purpose drives caution
|
||
- Airplanes once terrified—yet they helped humanity reach the moon and connect the world
|
||
|
||
## Why we believe in optimism
|
||
|
||
- Optimism drives solutions; fear paralyzes
|
||
- Hope fuels persistence. Failures aren't endpoints
|
||
- Every breakthrough began as a dream. We build toward better because we believe in it
|
||
- Perpetual optimism multiplies effort and impact
