In a world without PR repercussions and political backlash, wouldn't that spell "People are stupid, the world is a toy of great apes with guns in one hand and shit in the other"?

Not that I expect an answer, and it may be that you do in fact unpack "crazy" differently, and in any case "crazy" is connotated much more palatably, but I wonder, I wonder ...

(In your shoes I'd at least have some (non-violent) Kill-Bill-esque revenge fantasies in which I tell gung-ho AGI researchers about the effect of their work.)
