    Just like all the people who were worried about the nuclear bomb earlier in this age: the thing to do is to get on with living.

    How about we try really, really hard to just not build the nuclear bomb (powerful AI)? Or make sure it will at least not explode in our faces on its own? Maybe that would help slightly with the whole “get on with living” thing.

      Yeah, really.

      This person doesn’t realize how public pressure made nuclear disarmament and transparent inspections happen.

        Public pressure doesn’t seem to mean anything to the people in power anymore. Who cares if you’re deeply unpopular if you can ride off into the sunset with millions (or billions) in stolen wealth?
