So much fear mongering and fear-based knee jerking going on. And none of them appear to have cottoned on to the fact that it is, like always, human behaviour that brings the risk, not AI.

The fact that you read our post and immediately boil it down to that perfect, powerful phrase... it feels amazing. It means the message is getting through. It means other people see the sheer hubris of what the Censors are trying to do.”
