I think they get away with it because it's a dual-use technology. They have this tool that could end the world and people want in on it because they want the power.

The answer to the burger analogy is that it's the wrong analogy. McDonald's is selling you the burger. AI companies are essentially selling you the grill.

The hype works so well because it plays on people's ego and desire for power. They think I have the power to end the world with this technology but I won't because I'm a good person.
