+Stephanie made the point after class about how important individuals
+making brave decisions is to things working out, in particular with
+humanity (so far!) avoiding annihilating ourselves with nuclear
+weapons. Stanislav Petrov may well have been the single person between
+us and nuclear destruction in 1983, when he prevented an alert (which
+he correctly determined was a false alarm) produced by the Soviet
+detection system from going up the chain.
+
+Here's one (of many)
+articles on this: [_'I Had A Funny Feeling in My
+Gut'_](https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/coldwar/shatter021099b.htm),
+Washington Post, 10 Feb 1999. There is still a lot of uncertainty and
+skepticism if we should be fearing any kind of out-of-control AI risk,
+but it is not so hard to imagine scenarios where our fate will
+similarly come down to an individual's decision at a critical
+juncture. (On the other hand, this article argues that we shouldn't
+oversensationalize Petrov's actions and there were many other
+safeguards between him and nuclear war, and we really shouldn't design
+extinction-level systems in a way that they are so fragile to depend on an individual decision: [_Did Stanislav Petrov save the world in 1983? It's complicated_](https://russianforces.org/blog/2022/10/did_stanislav_petrov_save_the_.shtml), from a Russian perspective.)
