So you don’t think Sam Altruistic Altman is really just in it for helping out the human race by creating “a global identity system through scanning people's irises”…?

Thanks for calming me down. I totally forgot about how nothing absolutely horrible could be done to private citizens from generative AI implemented at a tremendous scale. I am also truly super glad we have so many tech billionaires now so openly participating in governments foreign and domestic. I was almost concerned for a moment. Have to run, I have to go ask Chat what I should eat for dinner, intimate questions about my current prescription medications leading me to worry about these things, my idea for a great start up company, and how to respond to my current boss about our financial situation. Everything is fine.
yes? all hardware they use is free of conflict minerals, all energy consumed on their servers is clean and has no impact on fauna e flora, copyright with all the possible training data they need is already solved in a bipartisan way AND their company pays no more than 7:1 ratio [0] for CEOs vs. bottom of chain workers /s

there's also the need for a global identity controlled by a private company of country X, as we are close to have no borders worldwide (continents drift soon will merge everything into a new Pangaea, gotta be prepared)
