Sam Altman, the recently fired (and rehired) chief executive of Open AI, was asked earlier this year by his fellow tech billionaire Patrick Collison what he thought of the risks of synthetic biology. ‘I would like to not have another synthetic pathogen cause a global pandemic. I think we can all agree that wasn’t a great experience,’ he replied. ‘Wasn’t that bad compared to what it could have been, but I’m surprised there has not been more global coordination and I think we should have more of that.’

      Diluting the meaning of words is a huge problem for society. Labeling anything you don’t like as racist is the same tactic used by Magas when they label everything they don’t like as insurrection.

      You are enabling actual systemic racism.
