The Terminator could bust in their homes and slaughter their families and some people would still screech it's all marketing. Is it some kind of mental block ?

To be fair that would be excellent marketing

And I'm sure these two goobers would call me a luddite for alleging that OpenAI had agency in allowing the terminator to get out and should therefore be held accountable. Is it some kind of mental block?

		Is anyone arguing OpenAI is blameless or shouldn't be held accountable? I have seen not one person on any side of the debate argue that. Obviously they were negligent. The problem is that people and organizations are consistently negligent around problems that are far, far easier to manage than "we have thousands of superintelligences trapped in a box and we're giving them impossible tasks." So the question is whether we can build organizations and technologies that sufficiently manage this type of risk ahead of the capabilities. So far the answer seems to be veering towards "no", and you're here alleging it's all a marketing stunt.

Yes it's called motivated reasoning. They've rendered themselves mentally handicapped.

On the one hand, these tools are so valuable/powerful we cannot afford to slow down development. On the other hand, there's no way these tools are actually doing these things that would, in fact, be completely indicative of their value/power.
