I agree with her 100%.
Most people, nearly all, do not understand the illusion of greed, anger, ego, pride, influence etc. Most are seduced by it all. This is human nature. Most people want millions and millions of YT and Instagram followers these days. The entire world has become a fierce, highly competitive, "reality show", popularity contest!
Note: This idea is one of the central themes in the sci-fi novel "Ender's Game"
So, back to the topic of A.I. and the very negative consequences we are seeing coming out of "big tech".
I do not blame all the scientists and engineers working in big tech who are building the same technologies which are disrupting human society and destabilizing the planet.
They have little choice.
Most of the high paying jobs in big tech these days (and the research grants and money) are related to these disruptive technologies and there is constant "positive hype" (and cool movies and movie stars and celebrity engineers and star-struck scientists) to keep us distracted from the very negative impact these technologies have on our human well being.
After all, who can resist getting a high paying A.I. job with Facebook or Google and being seduced by it all?
Very few.

GROFF_MOM(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual GROFF_MOM(7) NAME
groff_mom - groff `mom' macros SYNOPSIS
groff -mom [ files... ] groff -m mom [ files... ] DESCRIPTION
mom ("my own macros", "my other macros", "maximum overdrive macros", ...) is a macro set for groff, designed primarily to format documents for PostScript output. mom provides two categories of macros: macros for typesetting and macros for document processing. The typesetting macros provide access to groff's typesetting power in ways that are simpler to master and to use than groff's primitives. The document processing macros provide customizable markup "tags" that allow the user to design and output professional-looking documents with a minimum of typesetting interven- tion. mom comes with her own (very) complete documentation in HTML format. FILES
om.tmac - the main macro file mom.tmac - a wrapper file that calls om.tmac directly. </usr/share/doc/groff-base/html/mom/toc.html> - entry point to the HTML documentation /usr/share/doc/groff-base/examples/mom/* - example files using mom AUTHOR
mom was written by Peter Schaffter <peter@schaffter.ca>. Please send bug reports to the groff bug mailing list <bug-groff@gnu.org> or directly to the author at the address, above. Groff Version 1.21 25 June 2012 GROFF_MOM(7)
