Recall back to the conversation with bankers doing Ninja loans from 'The Big Short'. They care that they're making money, and have no thoughts for the future consequences. Long-term thinking is for politicians and poors.

The recent 'AIs are so dangerous' conversations have likely three-fold reasons. One, push the intelligence con. Two, tighten up regulations so that only existing LLM companies can play ball and shut out the open source and Chinese models. And third, OpenAI recently reported that their models were used by Iran for targeting solution code for their drones. So they're playing it up to become a military asset as well (get those sweet defense dollars)
