If we allow the far-right to continue merging political power with AI without guardrails, we will see the rise of a system where freedom is algorithmically rationed.

    some tools are actually strictly bad to use, like nuclear bombs, landmines, or chemical weapons

      Nuclear bombs have one theoretically beneficial use: deflecting planet-killer asteroids.

      You’re just describing weapons made from tools.

        Weapons are tools. They are tools engineered for death.

          Yeah, that’s my point.

            And some tools are bad to use. People generally don’t like death.

              Yes, those tools are called ‘weapons.’ Are you implying AI is a weapon?

                certainly some AI is weaponry

                  Yes, we should outlaw weaponization of AI. I would support that.

                  We don’t outlaw knives. But we punish their use as a weapon.

                I’m implying it’s undesirable.
