“If these companies truly believe that they’re developing products that might directly lead to widespread harm – from the destruction of our economy in the best case, to the destruction of our species in the worst – then the only morally-valid response would be to immediately stop these efforts, and apply every resource at their disposal to try to stop every other lab as well.
On the other hand, if they don’t really believe that their technology is likely to cause these harms, then they’re effectively “laundering the anxiety of millions to improve the financial fortunes of a vanishingly small number of major stockholders.” Such cynicism would be equally monstrous.”
