If their definition of allowable bicycles weren't so strict, they would quickly get into completely impractical bicycles that have no use outside a closed course, ridden by a highly practiced rider, and with costs far greater than even the expensive bikes of today. For example recumbents would dominate, even though they hardly make a dent in the mainstream market where they are allowed.

Come to think of it, I'm basically agreeing with you... but I think it's good.

I actually do think missile defense is worth developing and fielding. It has been very widely used in Israel against Palestine / Iran proxies lately and in Ukraine.

But would I ever push the button secure in the knowledge that I am invulnerable - can't imagine it. Imagine if missile defense worked really well and only 15% of the US population were wiped out and the radiation over the rest of the country were "usually" survivable. It's unimaginable.

I thought you were going to say they would be offered stock options etc. that probably wouldn't actually amount to that much because AI is crap. I don't universally agree with that either, but it's not ridiculous.

What I do think is likely is that Sam Altman is exaggerating.
