Verified via web search. The quote appears in Modern Wisdom podcast episode #1079 with Tristan Harris ("AI Expert Warns: This Is The Last Mistake We'll Ever Make"), aired April 2, 2026. The source URL (podscripts.co transcript) returned 403 to WebFetch but is confirmed by independent results from Singju Post, Spotify, Audible, and YouTube. Year 2026 matches. Vote alignment: Harris explicitly describes AI as "the asteroid coming for Earth" and warns about the "anti-human future," which is a clear existential-threat framing — fully aligned with a "for" vote on the statement "AI poses an existential threat to humanity."
