On video: what we do

The core statement

Twenty percent extinction does not mean eighty percent safety. Nothing is on record about the other eighty.

The demand: show the math. Whoever names a probability for loss of control discloses which outcomes they distinguish, how they split them and by which rule they update the number.

„If we create them so they don’t care about us, they will probably wipe us out.“
Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel laureate, BBC Newsnight, 20 Jan 2026
