And it's not even working. Not one of the AI companies is profitable. So they're putting the hope for profits some time in the future over sanity and safety.
So what's the problem? This looks self-correcting to me, if none of the AI companies are profitable then they're going to go away. Short their stock and make a fortune.
"What's the problem" with the entire American economy being moored to a bunch of companies all acting as flaky as Enron and friends during the dot-com crash?
Edit: just realized FaceDeer is obsessed with AI stuff, so he's probably here just to troll with questions he already knows the answers to.
