I agree with what Liz said in an earlier episode: They don't actually believe that, it's just something they say so investors will think they are the biggest-brained coders and keep throwing money at them.

But then why do investors throw the money at them? If I'm an investor, I'm not throwing my money at some guy who says, "this technology will destroy humanity".

So long as there is money to be made, they don't care.
