It’s legit scary to see tech approach the point where private companies might develop systems that could and in some way are endangering humanity as a species, and all their decision-makers are concerned with is corporate success.

OK I also briefly thought “our problem” but I’m actually PRETTY CONCERNED about the words “only goal” when I really think about it? “Only”, as in “Yeah, feeding on humanity is definitely ONE thing we’re shooting for, but come on guys, there’s lots of applications”
