The Honest Govt Ad is very good, and I don't wish to be a smartarse but I listened to a Sam Harris podcast at least 4 years ago, possibly longer. He was in discussion with a very clued up fellah in the field and the main message was 'We should be discussing the ethical aspects right now, now when it's on stream.'
Sadly, not many were listening I guess.
