Despite the inherent risks of spinning one of these Molbots up there's an argument to be made that those people who don't will be left behind merely because this will evolve at such a rapid pace. I think AI will be like a new arms race. Now that the genie is out of the bottle ethical AI and non-ethical AI will have to maintain a certain level of balance to fend off chaos and calamity.
