A little over two decades ago, my then girlfriend was arrested for "writing malware" (which was not against the law at the time, and which was never released into the wild and never caused any damage). This set in motion a chain of events that effectively ruined her life.
Fast forward to today, and we have multi billion dollar corporations pumping out malware at breakneck speeds, compromising various systems (including those of foreign governments), and no one is getting arrested. Instead we're gawking at the marvel of these systems and are playing word games about whether or not it's a rogue system. If anything, it's making people richer.
Not only have there been no consequences but those same companies are trying to position themselves as the best people to keep these AI systems in check.
Yeah I find the whole 'what if sufficiently advanced AI gets into the wrong hands' argument extremely tiresome when it's already in the worst possible hands as far as most of the human population is concerned.

Make it make sense.

I appreciate the sentiment but I feel like there is a lack of creativity and imagination behind that statement.
