Sam Altman, the recently fired (and rehired) chief executive of Open AI, was asked earlier this year by his fellow tech billionaire Patrick Collison what he thought of the risks of synthetic biology. ‘I would like to not have another synthetic pathogen cause a global pandemic. I think we can all agree that wasn’t a great experience,’ he replied. ‘Wasn’t that bad compared to what it could have been, but I’m surprised there has not been more global coordination and I think we should have more of that.’

        still boggling at the high degree of redditor logic behind “this thread appeared on my screen therefore I’m welcome to post my garbage in it”. I can’t decide if it’s better or worse than the couple of r/SneerClub threads demanding that SneerClub never appear on the poster’s Reddit homepage ever again
