They're correct. This tech, like much before it, is being driven by the base desires of extremely smart young men.

Gender is obvious and unchangeable. Everything else is a mental health issue, and truly sad.

I hope we can reason with sentient intelligence.

What I'm scared by now is non-sentient intelligence, which I never thought would be this capable and still obviously dumb, which really makes it dangerous.
