- andrewmutz 3y agoSorry for the subtle sarcasm, they are safe and that's exactly my point. 20 years ago everyone was scared of GMOs and begging for regulation. Many european nations banned them in response. Other places insisted on labeling them so consumers could avoid the danger. We now know that they are safe and these efforts were counterproductive.
- jabradoodle 3y agoThere are more than two outcomes from AI. It's not either it kills us all or everything is perfect. It is a question of how much harm wi be caused, even if the harm is massively outweighed by the benefits.
- prettyStandard 3y agolol thanks. At first I was warry about them mainly because I hadn't taken the time to think too critically about. A friend walked me through the simple idea that your stomach is going to tear most things to shreads, so, as long as you aren't taking poison basically, you should be fine.
