I like(d) it, I think it adds some drama, but the people have spoken and it is dead. RIP Doom Rumble, 2023--2024. Also I had a bit of a head cold at the time of some of the recording and sound a little nasal in the open and close, my apologies lol, but a few sniffles can’t stop this thing!!RESOURCES:Time Article on the New Report:AI Poses Extinction-Level Risk, State-Funded Report Says | TIMEJohn's Upcoming Talk in Philadelphia!It is open to the public, you will need to make a free account at meetup.comhttps://www.meetup.com/philly-net/eve...FOLLOW DAVID SHAPIRO ON YOUTUBE!David Shapiro - YouTubeDave Shapiro’s New  Video where he talks about For HumanityAGI: What will the first 90 days be like?
