So this is just Thrasymachus - "Justice is nothing other than the advantage of the stronger"?
We're still just apes with hats. Very complicated hats, but it's still an ape wearing it. You can teach a few apes a whole lot of tricks, but it takes a lot. Most of the apes won't learn much. The few smart apes will learn tricks and incentives, which when properly applied, allow those few smart apes to control the rest of the apes. That control is called society.
The only option is to build something that doesn’t act like this before that happens, but most likely we will just make a less accountable less empathetic version of humanity
