    TLDR: closest ever to human extinction by one second compared to 2023 (when it was 90). Most current threats already existed back then (with the exception of AI) and have seen only mild increases.

    As long as its painless… at this point I’m fine with it. If it were just me. Obviously others feel different and I honor that as well.
