          It’s legit scary to see tech approach the point where private companies might develop systems that could and in some way are endangering humanity as a species, and all their decision-makers are concerned with is corporate success.

              Not to mention literally researching global warming before anyone else bothered, verifying it is happening and that humanity is causing it, then spending decades gaslighting our entire species into widely believing it isn’t.

        OK I also briefly thought “our problem” but I’m actually PRETTY CONCERNED about the words “only goal” when I really think about it? “Only”, as in “Yeah, feeding on humanity is definitely ONE thing we’re shooting for, but come on guys, there’s lots of applications”

              They look like this

              It’s an expandable full-width deal. The spoiler start tag has to be on its own line, and the same goes for the ending three commas.

              MelodiousFunk has replied with a cleartext example.
