That's an application of the "Tragedy of the commons": One person stopping to push the frontier just means that this person will lose their job, the frontier will be pushed by the others. The solution is to push for a binding rule instead that will make everyone slow down in the racing towards artificial superintelligence.

And this is how we absolve people of all personal responsibility. Such companies would not pay people that well if they were so fungible.

There is no such possible binding rule either, a point that is so obvious that any smart person claiming otherwise is clearly up to something.
