I'd also argue AI is a bit different then bomb tech. We didn't know for sure if we could ever make an atomic weapon, if the scientific community declared it impossible it's possible no one would ever have cared enough to figure out how to do it. AI is different in that we: A. Know it's possible (we are nothing but wet, gooey machines after all) B. We want AI to exist so they can do stuff we don't want to do. Those two factors are probably enough to ensure AI will eventually exist. If you had some amazing bit of research that could act as the lynchpin to strong AI, my suggestion would be to release it, use that to become famous, and then try and guide the AI world as best you can. Or just build an ethical AI to guide the world before releasing the info since the AI will probably do a better job.
Well I don't think what they did to you was very cool, I am desperate for any form of human companionship no matter how fallacious or fleeting it is, and you did call me your bro, so cool story brah.
