AI safety founders publish personal cyber-defense and preparedness guide for the AI age

The Endgame (Edouard Harris and Jeremie Harris) published "Personal resilience for the AI age", an edited version of a preparedness document they've circulated among friends and colleagues since April 2026, on defending against AI-driven cyber risks to personal and national infrastructure.
Key points:
- Sources include their own research since mid-2024 on AI cyber risk to national infrastructure, conversations with current/former frontier AI lab employees (many already taking such measures), and US Tier 1 special forces operators they worked with protecting AI datacenters from nation-state adversaries.
- The authors implemented nearly all advice themselves and tested most of it, taking no referral fees or sponsorships.
- On whether visibly preparing makes you a looting target: they admit yes, but argue the more everyone prepares, the more resilient society becomes — worth the risk.
- The document is a high-level rationale rather than a step-by-step guide, which they'd rather deliver via a walkthrough app.
