   I’ve never seen CEOs work so hard to make the public aware of how dangerous and out of control their flagship product is. It makes me automatically assume they’re scheming about something else like regulatory capture to protect their market.

      CEOs only job is to raise the stock price. They are doing just that and right now the way to get people to buy into their stock is to instill fear into them that they need to buy the AI-stock for their safety. There is no "bigger conspiracy" out there and also no AI to kill us all tomorrow.

      This has been that way in Silicon Valley since the very beginning and there was even a documentary about (the SV HBO series). The tech made along the way is just a side-product.

         But this is wierd: How shall I convince one to buy a product if I say "it-is-dangerous"? :-D
