How likely would 4 pregnancy tests would be false negative?
Simple math problem that even I can do — with a caveat!
If each test has a 5% false negative rate, about 1 in 160,000.
If each test has a 1% false negative rate, about 1 in 100 million.
However, that caveat is that in real life errors are frequently correlated. So if there is something hormonally odd going on, you could still be pregnant and all simple tests could return negative every time.
I’d sink every invading migrant boat storming the shores of the UK if I could with no qualms and no regret.
Eventually, they’d stop. The incentive structure would be high negative then.

It’s not impossible, but it is highly impractical. First, a laser like that is not something we could currently build, but if we did it would require absolutely insane amounts of power.
Just as a rough calc, to burn an ad into the moon using a laser that could produce deep and contrasty enough lines to be visible from earth (say something box-shaped and 2,000 miles x 1,000 miles) would require about 10^21 Joules of energy on Earth. Maybe 10^19 of that would reach the moon due to atmospheric absorption and dissipation.
That’s about 277,778 TWh, or around sixty-three years of total U.S. electricity generation. Not even including the cost of the laser itself (which would be hundreds of billions to trillions), that much electricity would run you about $40 trillion in 2026 dollars. US GDP is about $31 trillion per annum.
So that’s why ain’t nobody carving anything on the moon with lasers. It’d likely be cheaper to send astronauts with excavators and such.

I did not need AI to build a functional wet lab, if I’d wanted to. But I’m pretty sure with AI I could build one in 6-10 months that’d allow me to create something very dangerous very quickly. Before AI, I suspect the “creating something very dangerous part” would’ve taken me more like 4-7 years.
The important point is that this lowers the bar. Prior, only a few people with 140+ IQs working together could do this. Now, it only takes one person with ~115 IQ. And that’s an enormous difference that matters.
