Just because the path is bad doesn't mean it won't happen.

The other thing you're failing to look at is momentum and majority opinion. When you look at that... nothings going to change, it's like asking an addict to stop using drugs. The end game of AI will play out, that is the most probably outcome. Better to prepare for the end game.

It's similar to global warming. Everyone gets pissed when I say this but the end game for global warming will play out, prevention or mitigation is still possible and not enough people will change their behavior to stop it. Ironically it's everyone thinking like this and the impossibility of stopping everyone from thinking like this that is causing everyone to think and behave like this.
