I think people are seeing only the negatives in this merely because of the association with Altman’s name and ignoring the potential benefits out of cynicism.

I don’t know about what other people see, but I see negatives because it’s associated with a billionaire.

If Taylor Swift put her name on it, my opinion would not change.

Billionaires don’t build, they finance machines that extract value from human beings.

Actual scientists have been working on using CRISPR to fight hereditary disease in the US and around the world. This money should go to them instead of yet another billionaire’s pet designer baby startup.
