It's legit scary to see tech approach the point where private companies might develop systems that could and in some way are endangering humanity as a species, and all their decision-makers are concerned with is corporate success.
Big oil would like a word, alstarting in 1950 at least.
Not to mention literally researching global warming before anyone else bothered, verifying it is happening and that humanity is causing it, then spending decades gaslighting our entire species into widely believing it isn't.
We knew about global warming since 1900. We just didn't care.
Unless.
Give it a few years and they will get a military contract to endanger humanity more efficiently.
Moore's law of mad science: every decade, the IQ needed to end civilization drops by one point.
