>>Humans are on the verge of building machines that are smarter than we are. I feel pretty goddamned awesome about that. It's what we're supposed to be doing.

Have you ever spent any time around children? How about people who think they're accomplishing a great mission by releasing truly noxious ones on the world?

You just dismissed the entire notion of accountability as an unnecessary form of suffering, which is right up there with the most nihilistic ideas ever said by, idk, Dostoevsky's underground man or Raskolnikov.

Don't waste your life on being the Joker.
