The distinction is irrelevant. No one thought the nukes would blow themselves up, but here we are on the precipice of destruction. We aren't going to bury ai in 20 story bunkers to protect llms.

Everyone knows the real evil are the people building the ai. We aren't afraid of agi we are afraid of Boston dynamics (aka Google). We are afraid of Bill gates, Sam altman, Jeff bezos, Larry Ellison and elon musk.

These are dangerous people. Their mind set. Their unstoppable lust for money and power. We are afraid of their ability to convince humans to do unspeakable things for this imaginary thing we call money.

With agi they don't have to persuade anyone with anything. There's not Even a human conscience to stop them. We know these folks have no conscience of their own. The world is still here because other people have them.

Agi won't have a conscience or the integrity to stop evil.

Human society is collapsing because Good people are doing nothing.

P.S. Boston Dynamics is no longer owned by Google, it's part of Hyundai now.
Ah yes, rings a bell. Doesn't change the sentiment though. They're all crooks and cheaters who will sacrifice the greater good for their own self interest.

It's the fear of death that's killing us all.

There are tons of examples of chaebols behaving evilly in Korea. You don't have to pull out a scenario where half of Americans and most non-Americans think Hyundai are the victims, not the bad guys.
