One of the things that keeps me rooted is that I've worked as then employed teams of experienced DBAs to maintain "self healing databases" for last 20 years. Large but non crazy / non special databases with robust reliable technology that just need tender loving care all the time. And I'm increasingly aware as I age that I am not special and everywhere else is not that much better. So I'm with you on the dangers of self running / self improving stuff running away, vs 10k immediate risks and issues (as in, happening, not hypotheticals).
