1. Swap hearts with a fit young person.
2. After I wear theirs out, we swap back and I get my old, now upgraded, heart back.
3. Profit.

First, don't invke a "both sides" fallacy. It's stupid.
Second, is there any evidence anywhere that the US engages in any of these? Because it's already known that Russia does both, and in fact uses chemical weapons such as vx/novochik
Third, president Nixon issued an executive order mandating that no government entities engage in this in any way at all, and unlike your tsar's decrees, executive orders have no effect if they're not made pubic, so they can't be secretly cancelled, amended, or ignored. We have a system of checks and balances, you do not.

People who listen to AM talk shows are stupid by action.

It doesn't mean I need to buy an AM radio for every car either, nor harden the car for housing an AM radio without issue.

It's literally in the Constitution that criminals can be forced to work.

It's hard to believe that a Jordanian teenager learned the PeopleSoft vendor integration API well enough to exploit it.

Probably somebody whose dayjob is related.

Maybe he was just Vibesploiting, but it seems less likely.

...you can rarely traverse to a global maxima, without first navigating some local minimas along the way.

If you asked your close friend advice on how to shoot up a Sheriff's office, and also where to acquire guns, etc..., and that person reported you to police, they would be doing the community a service, and while theoretically betraying your trust in this instance, in reality, they would be doing you a service with respect to your long term happiness as well.

That's never the question. No one is expected to answer that. Questions are not permitted. Asking questions is clue #1 your a Nazi.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we defund law enforcement.

The world should accept some bad things happening when the kids get trans-ed.

The world should accept some bad things happening when incarceration is obviated.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we unionize government workers.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we obviate standardized testing.

Finally, after having decided that all these things are the unquestioned purview of our most virtuous Great And Good, and a cohort of elites is entirely accustomed to inflicting whatever model for the world they prefer: 'The World Should Accept Some Bad Things Happening' For the Benefits of AI.

Ok. You're in their hands now, right where you put yourself. Enjoy.

So first it was opt in, but because nobody really wanted or asked for it, it became opt out. Still, nobody wanted it, so now they don't even get a choice. And ifans wonder why I don't like apple.

Sam Altman Should Accept Some Bad Things Happening to Sam Altman For the Benefits of the World

FTFY.

Thankfully, there were no religious wars in Europe before the printing press. /s

Probably worth mentioning at this time that Russia never stopped its bioweapons (and chemical weapons) research and development, which includes inducing antibiotics resistance into deadly microbes.

If this is what that is, you already know you can count on incompetent Russia to hit itself with its own weapon.

I can't help but chalk up whatever has Altman's statement bouncing around your echo chamber to selective outrage. The fact is, the hubris we see here is not special.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we "decarbonize" everything.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we DEI everything.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we eradicate our provincial notions of borders and citizenship, up to and including mass deaths from terrorism.

We're expected to accept "bad things" on behalf of any number of elite agendas and virtues. Deeply isolated and disconnected bubble dwellers such Altman have been behaving exactly like this for a long time now. So don't be surprised if you find there is no real consequences, walk backs or other desirable outcome here; the elites you have been enabling feel quite entitled to they're indifference to your concerns, and you made them that way.

From the point of view of my concrete bunker in New Zealand, I can't help but look at my Ferrari collection and think that you guys are overreacting to the possible downsides of AI.
