I'm genuinely disappointed in our most visible tech leadership

2•AnneTrotter•13m ago
Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Alex Karp, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, etc, etc. I know the reasons why this stuff happens. Power is absolutely toxic to ethics, consequences are often minimal until a line is crossed, crossing the line is often not an immediate trigger to consequences, success breeds overconfidence, money breeds echo chambers of sychophantic feedback which trigger garbage-in-garbage-out decision making. That last one has always been a special trap for the rich and famous, killing them and their reputation with tremendous efficiency for most of human history; but we're all kings of little AI domains now and can all curate our feedback to whatever feels best, ignoring any discomfort until it goes away.

Still. Knowing why it's happening doesn't stop the disappointment. Isn't anyone at that level aware of the GIGO problem? Does awareness make you less successful because responsible, prosocial, ordinarily intelligent actions are not profitable? What would be effective strategies to keep people at that level off drugs and relatively sane?
