I think most of Google's deep research projects were done in the pursuit of pure science, not monetization or productization. In hindsight sure, it looks like they missed an opportunity. But not everything needs to be about money.

I just mean ontologically, it does not surprise nor terrify me that a machine built to simulate human output also simulates the worst of us.

Doesn't seem that surprising or terrifying to me. Humans come equipped with a lot more internal biases (learned in a fairly similar fashion), and they're usually a lot more resistant to getting rid of them.

The truly terrifying stuff never makes it out of the RLHF NDAs.

They're there before the tests though, and potentially more frequent around nuclear testing calendar days. The argument has never been "these only showed up after a nuclear test."
