There is grandeur in this view of life…
https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/deer by @ZachWeinersmith

Two hikers in the woods discussing: "- Isn't it wondrous how, over eons, every time a baby deer was born who couldn't immediately run, it was culled by natural selection? - Your interest in evolutionary biology is ruining our hikes, Sharon. - Look at that great old sycamore, blocking light, starving the young saplings below." Browse-over text: "Every time I walk into the woods I like to think about the millions of creatures being killed for food."

    @ZachWeinersmith I wonder what kind of backpacking gear a robot needs.

    @apLundell @ZachWeinersmith That's where the elf is hidden. Even unseen, it makes the rest of the picture invisible to you.

    @ZachWeinersmith Sack blast. She doesn't say it kills him, so 501 lives are still saved. That's what the media will write about, not the 501 who haven't been conceived yet.

    Darn it OpenAI, the Three Laws of Robotics were perfectly adequate.

    There was no reason to replace them with your Large Language Model prompts.
