> Any possible outcome could be avoided if we just stop working on it. Except we live in a world where selfish persons will and do use any advantage to get ahead, with little care for side effects so long as they get ahead.

The cat will get out of the bag if we're ever able to create one. Question: do you feel like anyone controls the behavior of any given international company? Or does the company control the people? These lines aren't so clear imho, just as it won't be clear as we give more and more power to intelligent computer systems.
