They think that can buy their way out of the consequences, and they are right. Economic crashes will not functionally hurt those people and they won’t be affected by climate change other then having to buy a different set of houses. Also a couple of them are trying to build Elysium.

The people working on AI are definitely not going to be millionaires. I'm talking about the so called scientists, who claim to believe they are working on The Manhattan Project 2.0: Armageddon, yet still apparently stay.

So what's the story here they go home at the end of the day to their family and say today with a good day I think the world will be destroyed by the end of 2027 but hey ho, at least I've got a pay rise, just need to make sure to spend it before next August.

Give me a break. Anyone who is actually working on a project that they thought was going to destroy the world would stop working on it.
