When you tell people with guns to go starve in a ditch until they are dead, because you took their civilization...they might not do that.

I wish I could be in the room with Sam Altman when the AI releases the fungus that ends the carbon cycle on our planet. When he realizes every human on the plane is going to be dead and it was his fault. I won't be, but my death won't be without a certain bizarre satisfaction.
When people greenlight unlimited Federal power just because it happens to match their political motivations. It's perfectly reasonable to insist that our elected officials govern us and not delegate said governance to apparatchiks at random. If anything, the left's response to this is a scathing self-rebuke of progressivism. "We can't have what we want if the representative government stays involved in the process!"
So, the expert developers creating your secret AGI project freaked out and called the board of directors about it being dangerous. The people who are going to race past Elon Musk if in wealth, who know practically nothing about the technology, said "It's not dangerous! Don't worry." Ok. I feel good about it now.
Hilariously, your post isn't descriptive of any one particular political situation in the US at this time.
The best way for you to fight climate change is pay a massive tax. To me! And I'll something! I Guarantee it!
I wonder sometimes how many CIA dollars are included in each gram of Fentanyl.
I think the issue with AI, other than it making a life of leisure at the detriment of all humanity, is bad actors.
Can we design an AI that is safe? That has humanities best interests in mind? Probably.
Can bad actors design a civilization ending demon AI? Oh my yes.
Climate Politicians: "We must destroy the Western World, taking all of its wealth and giving it to Africa and South America."
Climate Scientists: "Or we could use climate engineering to just fix it."
Climate Politicians: "Well, your models are no good and that would be completely impossible to do safely. Global Warming. Destroy the existing world. Kill."
I'm not skeptical that we are changing the climate. Or that we should do something about it. I AM skeptical of the used car sales persons that are showing up trying to shove a revolver into my hand and insisting I write a will that leaves everything to them and then blow my brains out.
If you ever find yourself working at a prison in the US, the very first thing you say to yourself is "My god - the racism of the justice system in this country is undeniable...."
Then you get to know the folks on the other side of the bars, and realize that very few of them are some sort of sob story. Regardless of their race. They ARE murderers and carjackers and rapists. And proud of it. No mistake was made in their journey through the court system.
Instead, whats going on is every one of them had the stage set for this bout of incarceration the moment they were born. That stage was set for them by living in a culture that has been heavily reworked by white liberal activism to meet a set of political goals.
For example, White liberal activists have controlled Black American culture since the 80's or even longer, and 40+ years of manipulation of the narrative hasn't yielded a happy ending.
Maybe its time to treat adults as adults and stop poisoning their cultural water? When I hear someone say that the problems Black America labor under were caused by the whites, I couldn't agree more. I just wish everyone would notice WHICH whites exactly were causing these problems.
So dear white liberal elite - please stop being a bunch of racist helicopter pseudo-parents.
Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.
