The question becomes, is the upside greater than the downside?

That's never the question. No one is expected to answer that. Questions are not permitted. Asking questions is clue #1 your a Nazi.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we defund law enforcement.

The world should accept some bad things happening when the kids get trans-ed.

The world should accept some bad things happening when incarceration is obviated.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we unionize government workers.

The world should accept some bad things happening when we obviate standardized testing.

Finally, after having decided that all these things are the unquestioned purview of our most virtuous Great And Good, and a cohort of elites is entirely accustomed to inflicting whatever model for the world they prefer: 'The World Should Accept Some Bad Things Happening' For the Benefits of AI.

Ok. You're in their hands now, right where you put yourself. Enjoy.

I can't help but chalk up whatever has Altman's statement bouncing around your echo chamber to selective outrage. The fact is, the hubris we see here is not special.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we "decarbonize" everything.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we DEI everything.

The world should accept some bad things happening as we eradicate our provincial notions of borders and citizenship, up to and including mass deaths from terrorism.

We're expected to accept "bad things" on behalf of any number of elite agendas and virtues. Deeply isolated and disconnected bubble dwellers such Altman have been behaving exactly like this for a long time now. So don't be surprised if you find there is no real consequences, walk backs or other desirable outcome here; the elites you have been enabling feel quite entitled to they're indifference to your concerns, and you made them that way.

I suppose as long as we have these mass license+copyright bypass onions at our disposal, we may as well use them to make alternative browser engines?

Sure. Why not.

That NASA is not longer the gatekeeper is priceless.

Indeed. Space is no longer about how much money contractors can bilk out of the US government. It's about vast wealth being created in orbit. For SpaceX, those huge Starlink v3s are as important as the rocket: 10 years from now, using wires for client internet connectivity will be a quaint thing geeks go on about, but no one else actually uses. Musk is going to ruin the market for telecoms and cable operations, globally.

"protect public safety" from what? Low voltage coax or fiber? WTF are these people on about?

If that's their argument, you know it's bullshit.

Oh kay. Found yer problem!

Trump's FCC is likely right on this one. That is, if you actually want anything built-out. Whatever the sclerotic hippy boomers in MN don't want is almost certainly the best policy.

The gulf aligned against...

The only thing the gulf is aligned against is low oil prices, and the US squabbling with Iran is better than anything they might have hoped for. All the Gulf states are perfectly happy to continue being spectators and losing the occasional airport hanger or pipeline to a flying pipe bomb from Iran/Yemen, as long as that means $100+/bbl oil.

Trump sought out the biggest, wettest pile of shit on this entire planet and jumped into it with both feet.

Let's hear how this is a good thing.

It's possible this might change some minds about government data collection of financial activity.

It would be great if we all someday learned that PITT data analysis was actually based on de-anonymized CFPB data, which constitutes the singular largest and most granular financial surveillance program the US government operates, and perhaps put a large moral panic sized dent in the "consumer protection" narrative.

but is this really the top agenda item at the UN?

Sure. Why not? The grifters bumming around the UN live in paradise; all the soluble problems they might otherwise suffer in life have been solved. So they pick at these scabs, having little or nothing better to do: once you've finished doling out the annual climate bucks budget to the official climate narrative writers, what relevance does the UN have on this Earth, aside from the periodic condemnations of Israel?
