Here is another perspective.

The web is already FULL of bad medical information. Older folks treat it as gospel already. All this technology does is make both good and bad information more accessible.

More importantly, there is NOTHING anyone can do to stop this. Nothing the US government can do will stop the proliferation of AI models that do everything including giving medical advice (or other things that we know it will screw up)

"Dr. P<hil>" is still on TV.

I take a pragmatic view on these things - assuming appeals to morality and ethics will fail, what do we do to educate people about this?




Pretty cynical take. The world is already shit, what's another turd on the pile?


Perhaps the right take is to take every experiment to its extreme even if it's confusing.

People have mostly learned photos can be edited. What we need are outlandish experiments and examples, and then media showing off how wild this technology is.

Attempting to bubblewrap this tech both won't work and will lead to more confusion.


This is why we need pocket universes in which we can spin up and test new technology, like in the peripheral. Too risky to try chaos engineering in a legally risky domain like this
