Christina Wodtke (Stanford lecturer · author, 'Radical Focus') — 'suddenly I understood the answer to "if it can destroy humanity, why do AI labs keep working toward it?"'

Christina Wodtke — Stanford Continuing Studies lecturer, author of Radical Focus and The Team That Managed Itself, one of the earliest OKR practitioners in Silicon Valley — reads the financial-gravity chapter and reports the book is what unlocks her most difficult question about AI safety, and the answer she'll give her students when they ask 'but what can I do about it?'

“I just finished the chapter on financial gravity in Eric Ries terrific book, and suddenly I understood the answer to "if it can destroy humanity, why do AI labs keep working toward it?" It's been a while since a book helped me understand the world I live in so deeply. It's also is the book I'll be able to hand my students when they ask "but what can I do about it?"” — Christina Wodtke on LinkedIn
