The last wave was in the 80s. But this wave is larger and more totalizing. Control of the internet and AI output is the ultimate hall monitor tool.</text></comment>

Because there are ways to making it say racist things if you explicitly tell it to do so. As is normal, given that it&amp;#x27;s just a tool, the point is that it should do what we say.
I guess for these people, high-school debates where one can be assigned racist&amp;#x2F;sexist&amp;#x2F;etc. positions are an abomination.&lt;p&gt;I hope some non-American equivalent is released, because I don&amp;#x27;t trust American companies to release anything not absurdly prude. American society (or at least the elites) seems totally engulfed by extreme puritanism, and happy to impose it on the rest of us (why can&amp;#x27;t we have porn apps on the iPhone, when there&amp;#x27;s porn made by perfectly legal companies who pay their workers and their taxes?)</text></comment>
