      Not remotely the same lol. Human beings have been fighting each other since there were more than two people. That is never going to stop, which makes weapons profitable.

      When a company is telling you their product might go rogue and kill all humanity, that kinda puts an upper bound on being profitable

        Even worst, not ending humanity but getting sued for damages caused while almost wiping it.

        Dunno, we’ve been making nukes like crazy even since the whole nuclear winter thing was figured out.

      Sure, but those companies are selling war that is profitable. AI companies are selling the end of the world.

        Like a collection of nuclear warheads that can end the world, but if it’s your collection of nukes you can threaten others with it.
