Altman really is a sociopathic piece of shite; toxic as lead-sweetened wine. Probably thinks HE is in good company. As a deep red social conservative, I can see -- thru Altmans' et. al. behavior -- the triggers for rational "progressive" social views & actions. Damnable person.

"ye olde genetic bottleneck means all humans are fairly inbred" Yes, this is standard dogma. And yet ... look around you . How many base-pair changes are required to change an average-human into a raving "mongoloid" ? Is that number 10^3 or 10^6 or ... just ... 10 ? One unfortunate change in amino-acid sequence can destroy an enzyme function. I know ... "...compared to other species..." , but that is not the issue.

Thin-blue-line mentality ... same behavior as teachers unions defending pederasts and incompetents . There's a good reason unions got a bad name.

" Again, wrong target. Humans need to *use the tools carefully*." You are assuming humans are rational agents, and in addition act in-good-faith. You make the classic "Platonic" error, that virtue = knowledge. You imply < know the proper use of AI & all's well >. A sadly false assumption . More robust and lower-risk is to make the Calvinist error : that all humans are fundamentally irrational & corrupt ( in dealings with other people ). Then "physical" kill-switches make sense : kill-switches on AI ... kill-switches on insurance ... kill-switches on banking ... kill-switches on physicians : of-course the phrase [ kill-switch ] needs appropriate interpretation(s), but the meme is clear --- self-limiting tools ---> "this far and no farther".

Scandalous, actually that academics at major institutions have been AI-compromised, top to bottom. Three cheers for Uni students calling-them-out ... and damnation for the puerile excuses given by faculty. Were those excuses also written by AI ? I have yet to see academics use the stock-industrial excuse ... that competition - natural and necessary -- drives quality to the lowest order. Added-value really is (almost impossible ) , so slop commercial software/video/fiction/services out-compete human agents for cheapness and control-ability . That also must hold true for academics , where creativity is sparse as structure in a janitors closet. Nice work .../code/devs/slopper ; META force be with you.

America had a republic until Lincolns' War of Northern Aggression. Then we had an mercantile oligarchy till the Great depression. USA needed to mimic German efficiency to win WW2, so a meritocratic bureaucracy took power under Roosevelt. But, the release of WW2 technology into a consumer economy brought control back to the mercantilists ... as before local in footprint , but now global in reach. Only in recent decades have 5-th column limousine-kommunists ( real fascists ) manage to gain significant power thru violent migration and corrupted business practice.

A mere $40-B ? Why is "taking down" META not like "taking down" a drug dealer ? Nobody denies META pimps addictive-media . Nobody denies META computer devs are 'meta' abortion doctors of the < profession>. It/They deserve protection? By contrast ... USA Coast Guard and Navy have great fun gunning-down SA drug-dealer ships and submarines ; simple act-of-war protecting USA citizens. The analogy seems obvious ... yes I know ' money doesn't talk ... it swears', .... but southern cartels [ owning 1/2 of Miami ] are not bamboo-hatted dirt farmers either.
