Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

42,000 Americans a year die in car crashes. I don’t see how any of the benefits of cars can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce deaths. ------------------------- Common theme. Flexible tools that (theoretically) provide huge benefits also entail significant risks.

you do realise that the consumer has no use for genai and llms right. "go from point a to point b" is a tangible effect. "nothing a search engine couldn't do better" is in no way a benefit to anyone.
