    If the main risk is the model being used for something nefarious, like teaching terrorists how to make weapons, then can we PLEASE stop calling Zuck “bold” for doing it?

    Not caring about moral consequences is not bold. It’s reckless and uncaring. Sure, the jackass who built his startup on it now lives up Zuck’s ass in thanks, but the rest of us should call it what it is.

      I always dislike this arguement. AI isn’t magically going to give people capabilities they otherwise wouldn’t have. Everything that it can do is just automating tasks that could already be done by humans.

      If you want to know how to make bombs there are literally articles online for it, you don’t have to have an AI. If you did, then there wouldn’t be terrorists already.
