 i keep thinking about how all the AI guidelines used by OpenAI, Google, etc. are self-imposed because they are trying to build a marketable product. but what if you don’t care about a product that’s marketable and you want to make a racist, horny AI that convinces people to kill themselves? Saudi Arabia could fund that on a lark just to fuck up the western world and it would be a **great** value. 
 @dee34601 I’m not looking forward to finding out what can fit into the budget of Putin’s troll factory, Project Veritas, etc. You know there are a bunch of the worst people who are salivating at the idea of what could’ve happened if Hunter Biden’s laptop dump had deepfakes mixed in, or there’d been more, better sounding trolls flooding every public forum.
