Jon Stewart of the Daily Show

Here's a Jon Stewart quote that may be of interest:

Is it in your mind that the human race will be the cause of its own extinction? Because that is my theory as well.

And from the same interview:

What I have always believed will end up destroying us is... our own good intentions... Curiosity killed the cat.

Yeah, I saw that interview earlier today and was thinking I might post it to the Open Thread as a public, pop-sci discussion about existential risk, but they didn't get very deep, other than to point out that safety mechanisms would be pretty important.
