"Authorize" technology to kill you?

Are cars authorized to run people over?

Are painkillers "authorized" to get people to overdose?

Are computer chips "authorized" to be put into bombers?

What are you even talking about?


The government asked Sam Altman "may we use this to kill people?" and Sam Altman said "yes if you pay us lots of money". What's hard to understand?

> Are painkillers "authorized" to get people to overdose?

Are you saying the Sacklers did nothing wrong?
