    Lol, Altman’s AI generated purple prose slop was so bad even Eliezer called it out (as opposed to make a doomer-hype point):

    Perhaps you have found some merit in that obvious slop, but I didn’t; there was entropy, cliche, and meaninglessness poured all over everything like shit over ice cream, and if there were cherries underneath I couldn’t taste it for the slop.

An implication is that, if she does not seriously consider whether certain ideas that might have negative effects if spread (including reputational effects) are “infohazards”, Ziz is irresponsibly endangering the entire future, which contains truly gigantic numbers of potential people.
