Please regulate our competition + look, it's so dangerous marketing BS as IPO nears.
Fuck 'em, and yes they're the product of an authoritarian, repressive regime.
The "it's so dangerous" marketing has been going for years. Anyone remember the Facebook things that "invented their own language to communicate without the engineers understanding" or whatever? or the million times "Google engineer says it's achieved sentience and needs to be stopped" or whatever?
In fairness, it seemed like that google engineer genuinely thought the chatbot flattering of him meant it was sentient. Google bundled him out the door for going public with it so I doubt that one was PR.
