If the AI idealists can't stand up to basic forces of capitalism, how do they expect to control an actually dangerous AGI?

My guess is they don't expect to. I guess that that is one of the reasons they seem to not care about out of control climate change; burn it all down before it all literally burns down.

Yeah, the people leading the "AGI will save us" are the same as super church pastors.
They don't believe it, they just want their bank account limitless before they go into oblivion.
