AI researchers and companies need to starting asking themselves: just because we can does it mean we should?

The societal implications and risks of this technology are enormous. This could lead to an erosion of publc trust in audio and video evidence. Imagine someone creating something that gives dangerous medical advice using Fauci's likeness? Or giving the worst politicians an excuse to say that something they actually said/did was just AI generated.

In the life sciences there are limits to what researchers are allowed to do. Especially with genomics.

There are great opportunities for AI to do good things for humanity. We should not waste the time and effort on trivial things like this that have negative net benefits to us.

Edit: spelling

I was a regular at the options trading subreddit. Lots of questions about how to modify strategies kept coming up (I also have been thinking about it for a while) so I built https://putcalltheta.com.

Got some buzz when i first announced it but things went cold after that. I still get a few user signups occasionally. Need to do some work on it but my mind is wandering off to other projects.

Edit: lessons learned 1. I probably should have had a mobile version of the webapp at launch. 2. Marketing is hard
