In a prisoner's dilemma scenario like the current AI arms race, a negative expected value play can be correct if it's less negative than the alternatives. Essentially, "if I build AI it will probably kill everybody, but if I don't then my competitors will build it and certainly kill everybody."

He still contributed, a lot.

I don't really hold a grudge, I just think he's done it, running around yelling about it probably is going to change anything. The psychopaths runs the show now.

He introduced the tech and right now, it's looking extremely unlikely anyone is going to slow down because of anything he says.
