Jennifer Elliott is a veteran engineer in data centers whose customers have included Google, Meta, AWS, and Netflix. She has a wild story to share.

What makes Jennifer so fascinating is the duality.

She is highly technical, lives in Silicon Valley, and has invested in multiple AI startups -- she's bullish on AI.

But she’s also actively preparing ​​for a future where AI becomes — in her words — an ‘apex predator’ that could take humans out

She’s already building a list of her ‘Ride or Die’ people and designing an off-grid ‘Hidey Hole’ bunker community.

We get into exactly what concerns her about AI — including the surprisingly simple way she thinks it could attack, the personality traits of her Ride or Die people, and the two locations she’s already scouting out.

One of them happens to be a place where Peter Thiel spends time.

She also shares her take on the one way a startup could beat Nvidia — the most valuable company in the world.

This conversation feels both extreme and oddly familiar — because I think we all have a Jennifer in our lives… someone thinking a few steps ahead about worst-case scenarios.

Special thanks to the artist Sean Orlando for connecting me with Jennifer— go Glenview Elementary!
