“The Latecomer therefore leans into theoretical conversations and does not apologize for being concerned with existential risks like unaligned AI, engineered pathogens, or nuclear holocaust.”In its own words: latecomermag.com
Open Philanthropy funded the Latecomer Institute to launch an online magazine about humanity's long-term interests. The magazine appears to be The Latecomer, which publishes long-form essays on longtermism and existential risks.
