I think it is so reckless and unethical that AI companies are not spending good money on answering the political, social, economical, moral questions that they are raising.

Right, makes sense, if they just spent a bunch of money they could answer all of those "political, social, economical, moral questions". All of these unprecedented sociological and labor market changes flying towards us are trivially solvable, we just need to... what, hire a few dozen economists? Fund a team of philosophers to think about it really hard for a few months?

Would you rather have the AI companies answer those questions, or your elected government?

Fwiw, the AI companies have been saying a lot about these questions should be answered. Whether you want their answers is another story.

The AI companies will become part of govenment in the way banks have. They'll have very close ties and effectively govern in all but name.
