Yeah, just in case this isn't obvious to everyone: I'm excited about FLI and very grateful to Max, Meia, Jaan, Vika, Anthony, and everyone else for all the hard work they're doing over there on the East Coast.

I remember when Max & Meia visited MIRI during Max's Our Mathematical Universe book tour and Max said "I'm thinking of focusing more of my time on x-risk stuff. How can I help?"

I can't remember what I asked for, but it was somewhat more modest than "Please assemble a stellar advisory board and launch a new x-risk organization at MIT." I didn't know I could ask for that! :)
