Your mom is wise, Ravinder and you are blessed to have such a very wise mom.

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.
