Marc SchulderTalking to LLM researchers about ethics be like:
Paddy McGarr@MarcSchulder
Some people are dinosaurs already.
ethan@MarcSchulder It's unfortunate that this has become one of seven-ish memes that are always relevant in the early 21st Century. Not because the comic panel is bad - but that it so accurately depicts our current situation.
Aaron Moshiashwili@MarcSchulder this is possibly my favorite panel in all of comics history. Sauron is out there living his best life
Evan Light@MarcSchulder @paulwilson Here we are again with capitalism.
"I don't want to make a healthier, happier world. That's not a sustainable business model. I want to create a constant stream of revenue!"
This is why we don't have cures but instead have an endless supply of treatments.
"Don't fix the problem! Instead, provide temporary solutions to stop the bleeding that can be delivered on a predictable basis. And cash checks."
Tom Bellin 
@elight @MarcSchulder @paulwilson The reason why we don't have cures for everything is because our bodies (and the world which they inhabit) are incredibly complex. Before the treatments were developed, people just lived miserably and died quickly.
I'm not a huge fan of capitalism. There's a plethora of examples from medicine of negative societal outcomes directly caused by the profit motive.
That we don't have miracle cures for everything is not one of them.
@tob @MarcSchulder @paulwilson Speaking metaphorically, if not with the best metaphors. There are many enormous problems in the world. Many of those problems only persist because the richest aren't willing to be less rich.
Jacob Something@MarcSchulder The actual answer wouldn't be "I want to turn people into dinosaurs", but rather "not my fault, the market wants it that way".
Eragon@MarcSchulder Dinosaurs are not as cool as real freaking dragons !
Soh Kam Yung@MarcSchulder Sadly, he didn't turn himself into a dinosaur, since a pterosaur is not a dinosaur. 🙂
jack@MarcSchulder @adamhill the writer of this book is a WGA writer too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_and_the_X-Men
Flux@MarcSchulder why not both?
MadisonMonkey@MarcSchulder That tracks with what we know of ultra rich people who own scientific the discoveries of others
Mikie L'Oxymore@MarcSchulder But at least, dinosaurs are fun...
