Glad I'm not the only one worried about this. I spent a bit of my early career on this type of tech. At first I thought it was really cool and joked with my coworkers about building skynet. Eventually I realized no amount of coolness or money was worth putting my talents to building things that are obviously meant for destruction.

Sure they're tools and can be tools for peace in the right hands. But in the wrong hands, they can do immense damage. Perhaps one of the things that's kept humanity around is that despite the psychopaths in our midst who might not care if they destroyed every other human being, there are others whose conscience would get in the way.

This type of technology, in the hands of the wrong psychopath might mean the end of us. Despite the BS marketing behind AI, NO it is not sentient, it's a bunch of optimization algorithms. Not Good, Not Evil.

I realize that someone will build it. That, is an inevitability. Just know that it doesn't have to be me.
