The people who invented all the stuff that led to this (not grifters like scam altman) such as diffusion, backpropagation, transformers, perceptrons, embeddings, etc all went to university. Lots of papers that they wrote.
Maybe universities failed to teach those geniuses about ethics or civics.
That’s really not fair to universities or the inventors. Knowledge is not inherently evil, and things that have far reaching positive impacts can be used for nefarious purposes. Modern society has perverse incentives, but individuals adding to a corpus of humanity’s knowledge are not the ones at fault.
