Hey listen I'm with you all the way. I just think the problem goes deeper than AI. They're abusing the power of money to get away with anything- we shout "hey stop that you could get us all killed!" and they're like "Sure but think of the money I'll make!" and go ahead with it because they kick back to the rulers who let them.
It's like the atom bomb. Whoever gets it first will get to dominate everyone else, why do you think they're sprinting?
