Seems like a reasonable position “maybe it's going to produce the next War and Peace. if people want to read that book, AI-generated or not, we will be selling it -as long as it doesn't pretend to [be] something that it isn't.

These kinds of comparisons are a good illustration of how far to the right the “centre” is in the US. Countries like Sweden, Finland and Germany get called “socialist” despite being run by right wing/ conservative parties. Denmark is run by the centre left but with a hard right immigration policy.

Yet Northern European countries that have lots of that list have below replacement birth rates, and countries with none of that list have extremely high birth rates.

In a sense we are already geoengineering the planet today, but badly. Humans are cooling the climate by emitting 75 million metric tons of sulfur dioxide into the lower atmosphere, almost entirely as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
