I am the daughter of someone who designed missiles for a living; my father called himself a "merchant of death" and was eternally conflicted about the things he had helped create. One thing that brought him some solace was when one of the brain-children he helped birth to destroy Soviet bombers became marginally useful for destroying SCUDS, and suddenly his radar and guidance systems were saving lives rather than taking them.

He carried the weight and gravity of what he was doing every day of his life, and was constantly sidelining his expertise into helping radio astronomy as a way to deal with it.

My father is why I have lived a life of securing medical devices, protecting hospitals and peaceful infrastructure, securing homes, and protecting people's retirement funds

What scares the hell out of me is the gleeful irreverence AI industry "leaders" have for the destructive capabilities of their creations; they have no reverence of respect for the pandoras box they are kicking open.

Oppenheimer at least stopped and did the math after Teller said he was worried that the atmosphere would ignite; These assholes are just literally bragging that they might end humanity in a decade.

Trusting these people because there may be profit in it is insanity.
