There seem to be two ways for the AI thing to click. Some people click and go "Oh yeah, that makes sense," and then if you ask them about it they'll tell you they believe it's a problem, but they won't change their behavior very much otherwise. The other people click and go, "0_0 Wtf am I doing with my life???" and then they move to the Bay Area or New York and join the other people devoting their every resource to preventing paperclip maximizers and the like. Which type were your people, and what do you think causes the difference?
