Oh, good. If there's one type of entity I trust to lead humanity safely through some sort of existential risk, it's for sure a venture capital firm.

a16z is absolutely terrible. I'm not going to write off the argument just because they're a horrible organization, but bear in mind that they have a TON of money riding on suckering everyone into buying their AI companies, many of which have dubious value.
