AI without guardrails is being deployed seemingly everywhere. I know a chemical engineer and he is terrified of AI being mainlined into industrial sites willy nilly. This is going to end in sadness, and explosions.

We're all just rats in a massive living global experiment conducted by Big Tech on our bodyminds, and the politicians and people in power who could actually do something about it are trying desperately to appease Big Tech instead
