Should we get to know what meds execs et al. dealing with AI are on?

Feels preposterous and stupid to ask, given that we value privacy and that top level politicians and generals and so on don't have to disclose such things.

I have an inkling now about what certain meds and drugs can do to people and it has become obvious why and how politicians and execs can act like they do.

    This type of stuff doesn't make any difference cause they all have issues, they cope in all kinds of unhealthy ways, and they all know each others issues. They tolerate it and look the other way as long as their own ambitions are not threatened.

    I don't think anything really works to rein in mindless ambition. You just have to let them fly of a cliff and keep a safe distance so you don't get caught up in it.
