"Pressed on whether marketing an addictive AI chatbot to kids is ethical, Hardin shrugged: “I mean sure, but that’s not really our problem. That’s something parents or maybe lawmakers might want to look into.” "AI safety" brought to you by the likes of The Future of Life Institute who are now armed with $700m+ thanks to crypto billionaires.

“We take our job of replacing humans in all economically viable work pretty dang seriously,” he added, reassuringly." The Future of Life Institute was started by someone who believed that only the building of so-called AGI would stop us from the "cosmocalypse" BTW. And that even climate change didn't post an "existential risk to humanity," not even the collision of galaxies did, only AI. It's either utopia or apocalypse according to them and all because of "super intelligence."
