They're so full of themselves they either don't care or believe they are the only ones responsible enough to make the AI

Seriously, if you genuinely believe you will destroy civilisation, STOP WORKING THERE you are only making it worse

If you work there and you genuinely believe you will destroy civilization you're either full of shit or experiencing AI psychosis. This tech is simply not that good. go outside and touch some fricking grass.
