I think this is a strong argument. Just as you cannot hold a computer accountable, you can't hold any piece of technology responsible. Of course some technology is created to harm or destroy as its outcome, but that isn't most technology.

If someone inside OpenAI had said something like "I predict there is a 70% chance our current corporate culture and leadership will harm or destroy humanity", that would be a much more compelling argument.

It's what you do with the technology that counts.

Yes, we know that it is ultimately bad humans pulling the trigger, but we also know for a fact that bad humans exist. So why are we arming them?

Not sure if ironic or not, but wild how often I'm hearing people paraphrase "guns don't kill people, people kill people" line lately.

I guess any group can become the NRA when their controversial interest comes under scrutiny.
