Don't worry, nature compensated and you can instead work on engineering viruses or strong AI if you want to blow up the world.

How many of the safety assessments take into account the fact that the nuclear waste is almost never buried away and in a dispersed matter and instead it's kept near the nuclear power plant in dry/wet pools because of NIMBY? This

Maybe the super-AI will be influenced by internet meme culture into becoming a troll, and will do it just for the lolz.

This is the old problem of passing instructions (AI job description) on the same channel as data (user questions). Confusion is very easy. Surely there is a solution in the way we solved SQL injections, by separating the two - db.sql("

Cells don't _want_ anything either. Yet a funny thing happens when a large number of them add up. We can go even further: atoms and electrons absolutely don't want anything either. Yet put them in the shape of a bunch of cells...

The number 4 (palm fingers) is very precise. You can't have 3 or 5. But you can have a variable number of stripes in tiger coat for example. It's difficult for AI to pickup that they need exactly 4. The fingers themselves are also

There are ways, fine the bank owners, claw back the bonuses, etc... Maybe even criminal law. But the depositor has no fault. A depositor shouldn't have to do diligence, just like it shouldn't test the the food it's buying for

You could argue for a 3% haircut "stupid tax" for such a CFO's account. But what would be the downstream implications? Money would move to big banks, making them even bigger.
