I think people are willing to do some pretty shitty things to ensure thier families are hedged against the system in the system in which we live.
I think the number of people willing to do this drops dramatically if the material conditions of existence changed.
There are like 100 people on this planet who MAKE the world shitty. The rest of us are just thrust into a position to be shitty to provide meaningful security to the people we love.
If you paid me a 10 million dollar bonus to push AI, you bet I’d be lying my ass off about how great AI is too.
You realize that makes you a shitty person, yes?
Absolutely, but I’d be a shitty person with 10m dollars, and I’m willing to be shitty for a year or two for that kind of money.
Fuck you, I’ll be shitty for at least 2 years more than this guy, give me the 10M!
That’s cool I guess, but this is why things are the way they are

It’s a small price to pay to support myself and those close to me for the rest of my life without worries.
But we are in the current situation because everybody thinks like you and small prices tend to add up :(
