    As stated, the companies that push AI aren’t concerned with the long-term consequences. But if you want to know how the individuals who run those companies personally feel, do a search for billionaire doomsday preppers.

    TL;DR: They’ve got a vision for the future. We’re not in it.

      All kinds of people fatasize about the end of times. From the losely asociated groups of rednecks, to the religious cults. The rich just has a better budget for their hobbies, and their toys are more visible. Which, paradoxicaly, disqualifies them from the prepping game.

      Number one rule about the secret bunker is not telling anyone about the secret bunker.

        I see your point, but usually those groups don’t have the ability to accelerate the arrival of the end times, whereas the billionaires might.
