- wigster 3y agoprobably great for humanity 2.0 amazing and scary stuff
- passwordoops 3y agoLike nuclear
- epgui 3y agoProbably not "the greatest day", but definitely a very very good day. I think it's too easy to imagine Orwellian scenarios, but I think the real worries are much more subtle than people usually think, and they usually have more to do with how the world already works than with how it could change.
