Keychron's T1 HE trackball mouse lets users adjust the ball's position

Keychron has unveiled the T1 HE, a wireless trackball mouse that can be fine-tuned so the ball sits comfortably under the thumb.

The argument centers on the possibility that increasingly capable systems could pursue goals in ways misaligned with human interests. The source article presents this as a theoretical pathway rather than a documented event. Coverage was published by Ars Technica.
