Vis a vis AI Moguls calling for Gov't AI regulation: I believe this is to protect their stock prices. They'll claim gov't regs stifled progress, not their inability to actually deliver of their impossible promises.

3: In Machen, the subtlest story—“The White People”—is undoubtedly the greatest, even though it hasn’t the tangible, visible terrors of “The Great God Pan” or “The White Powder”.

Or imagine asking, how can we make people's lives a little bit easier and a little bit better.
Imagine how great the US would be if they stopped looking at high speed rail as a business that needs to make money and instead asked how much time and productivity is wasted sitting in cars for hours.

First, my use of "If" suggests this is aspirational. Thus the question is "could we make this work" rather than "has it ever worked before?" However, a revered book of philosophy suggests this is the society intended by its founder, so worth another look?

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples
