*δύσκολο Συγγραφή would be used to describe authoring a book. You could use γραφή or γράψιμο or a verb construction να γράφεις "to write".

Ah the "The invade your country and then make a movie about how it caused them PTSD" analog.

It's not overcorrection, they simply learned the wrong lesson from WW2: "Don't mess with the Jewish" instead of "Don't be pro genocide." It's also been a long time since then and the consequences they suffered.

I would suggest they’re more in touch with the science.

How so?

It haunts science, we know we must do it for the benefit of humanity, but with the knowledge - the powerful and capital will use it for themselves.

The solution is not halting technological advancement(especially medical technology) but to try and change our political systems.

A baby (and more people after) not dying is an afterthought to you, you are mostly concerned with a fucking SciFi flick not coming true somehow.

Grow up, seriously.

This tech will save and improve a lot of peoples' lives. It will be also be used frivolously by the rich to 'improve' (or actually fuck up) themselves just like they use current medical tech. Meanwhile some poorer people that need it to survive will be denied it.

These are political issues, long existing, not problems with this medical development.

Bombs and cars possibly. Poison with very favorable conditions maybe. Bats and machetes no.

Bomb are illegal, of course you can create bombs with materials legally acquired. Still way more complex than shooting, the Columbine shooters' bombs failed to explode, their guns did not.

Cars can be deadly as well but they have way more important alternative uses to firearms. They also are not as commonly used to attack people as guns where both are readily available.

The cause is not the weapon, yet with firearms the same person would be able to hurt more people.

This is a Linux community not a professional art/design community.

I figure that since proprietary software developers use copyright to stop us from sharing, we cooperators can use copyright to give other cooperators an advantage of their own: they can use our code.

Yes but the spirit of FOSS is clearly anti-copyright and a non copyright world would be preferable.

You don’t get to just do whatever you please with someones work.

The FOSS positions is that you should if you are not preventing that someone doing what he wants as well (or anybody else), which is the case with IP unlike real property.

It's also how the world has worked for millennia, copyright and other IP law is relatively new phenomenon and even in the time it has existed it has not been as well enforced or accepted by society as say the concept of physical property.

AI is a great chance for commercial interests to push pro-copyright positions with a narrative of big bad tech corpos (absolutely true) vs little artist guy (bullshit, it's big bad media corpos). I remember they tried to portray copyright and associated enforcement tooling (DMCA etc) as a solution to revenge porn, to rehabilitate it's image.
