Yeah I mean a significant problem is that many(most?) people including those in the field until very recently thought AIs with these capabilities were many decades if not centuries away and now that people can see the light at the end of the tunnel there is massive Geo-political and Economic incentive to be the first to create one. We think OpenAI vs Deepmind vs Anthropic vs etc. is bad but wait until it's US vs China and we stop talking about billion dollar investments in AI research and get into the Trillions.

Scott's Exxon analogy is almost too bleak to really believe. I hope OpenAI is just ignorant and not intentionally evil.
