    One person commits suicide from LLMs: OH MY GOD BAN ALL LLMS REQUIRE IDS AND REGULATE THEM TO THE GROUND. (Please ignore all cases of suicide for therapy patients. Therapy is always effective and results in positive outcomes, right?)

    One person dies in a car crash with a semi-autonomous L2 car: OH MY GOD BAN ALL SELF DRIVING CARS PEOPLE ARE DYING LEFT AND RIGHT (ignore billions of miles per significant accident for the robot vs hundreds of thousands for humans.)

    Just two examples, and odds are you have your own personal opinion about how you absolutely loathe one or another. Maybe you feel like you’re losing control with self driving cars, or maybe you feel like chat bots have encroached on your field of work because you’re a dev and we’ve had countless layoffs after over-hiring during covid lockdowns.) Either way, there’s studies and there’s kneejerk reactions, and in our world the latter is winning right now.

      Sorry dude, but cars are technology too, not just self driving cars. Every death due to cars is a technology death. You can’t escape the reality of tradeoffs.
