seems the risks are almost infinite, just like daily life, but now we have to second guess machine output, and if it's a black box living in data centers with no transparency, you have to trust spokesmeatpuppets like Zuckerberg and Altman.

And of course, the blackmail potential is enormous, as we've been reminded lately by the Epstein saga.

I suppose one approach might be to live like Ralph Nader has lived: he confidently says, to paraphrase, they got nothing on me, because there's nothing they can get to discredit or blackmail me. But Nader was never in charge of the world's largest military.
