For governments to allow private entities to essentially play Russian roulette with every human being on earth is, in my view, a total dereliction of duty. [...] Each of the CEOs of the main AI companies, I believe, wants to disarm, but they cannot do so unilaterally because their position would be usurped by competitors. It really helps if each of the governments understand this issue. Unverified source (2026)
