It’s a tool, like a hammer or a clock or a glockenspiel, that can be used for good, neutral, or bad goals.

Unfortunately most AIs are developed, trained, and administrated by authoritarian structured capitalist corpos that are designed to require maximizing profit and minimizing cost instead of meeting humanity’s common needs and goals.

I wonder why they developed it in the first place if it was going to be this bad. Why does innovation necessarily (through game theory) have to lead to races to the bottom?
