They're gonna pay the price for their foolishness, and paying the price is the universe's mechanism for keeping itself in balance.
Take what's going on the US for example...
The price will be born by all of us.
"Love your neighbor as yourself" exists in some form in every major pre-modern religion and philosophy because it's a cornerstone of society.
Not over-compassionate, truthless love or yet another government program, but caring about those we run into enough to--at minimum--personally help meet their basic needs and defend or rescue them from immediate threats to their safety.
If we're going to let anything go, it shouldn't be that.
Seriously, though… How will you “carve out a little island”? Computers are the kingdom of AI.
You probably meant borne, but I do agree we're all somewhat responsible too...
No doubt that is true, but...
Suppose an extortionist comes to my business and says "hey, that's a nice business you got there, it would be a shame if someone was to ruin it with a bunch of horseshit tariffs"
I'd say 'yes sir no problem" and then do my goddamn best to murder those fucks in their sleep. Making them pay the price for extorting me will make sure that its not gonna happen again.
So now suppose the business next door is being extorted. And I tell the owner that I'd be happy to murder the extortionists for them. But they say "nah dog, they're sending the bad guys to El Salvador, it'll be fine".
How do expect me to care about that guy? Fuck that guy.
