Some of the risks the team worked on included "misuse, economic disruption, disinformation, bias and discrimination, addiction, and overreliance."

Conspicuous lack of grey goo or hyper-persuasive brainhacking. Still really good at being confidently wrong about basic shit!

So I broke up with Alice over a long conversation that included an hour-long primer on evolutionary psychology in which I explained how natural selection had built me to be attracted to certain features that she lacked.

She asked that I kindly never speak to her again, and I can't blame her.

Fuck. He figured it all out.
