Literally who has improved humanity more this century? I ask with all seriousness. Electric cars and rockets would not be where they are if he had chosen a different and much less difficult path.

Google employees could resolve this. They've dissented for various reasons before, and changed internal policy, why not with this?

Any serious thinking person understands it's healthy. You just can't win with keyboard warriors who have no perspective and complain about everything.

I agree, transparency is essential, especially when it comes to AI applications. Many underestimate the complexity of distinguishing AI-written content from human-written, especially for short texts. There's a danger in trusting tools

It is better for favoring free speech over censorship. Dictators don't favor free speech whatsoever. You've been gaslight into believing the opposite. Tyrants censor people with any justification they can get their hands on, inclu
