Ah, the old "it's too dangerous to release" marketing move. Why even tell us about it?
- cuddlyogre 2y agoFor the extra dollars they'll obtain when it is no longer too dangerous to release.

It could kill everyone on the planet. This is obviously pretty dangerous, so do you: A) silently dispose of it and hope nobody else ever makes the mistake of creating it. or B) keep it in the freezer and hold a press release about how you made it but it's too dangerous to share any details.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoNo, it's not more plausible.

- Tao3300 2y agoThis isn't the first time someone has spoken like this. It won't be the last. It's 100% marketing.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoBased on what proof?
- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y agoI guess based on 2000 years of commerce and marketing experience from people without an ounce of empathy.

- recursive 2y agoThat would require a for-profit corporate entity to be motivated by public safety. I can suspend my disbelief to some degree, but that's too far.
