I’d start a weapons development company if that wasn’t completely against my moral code. I could make so much money.

Just have your weapons only target weaponized robots. You might only make some billions instead of many billions, but you could stay within your moral code.
We’re back in business baby!
Practicing Skynet protocols.
This should go well. 🙄
Surely this will end in world peace.
It will if the machines destroy humanity.
There can be no world peace so long as humanity exists, we've proven that throughout our history.
Honestly, Skynet is the best case scenario humanity can hope for.
Either it will finally unite humanity against a common enemy, or if we truly lack the capacity to do so as we claim, put this failed mutation out of its self-inflicted misery and let nature start again.
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves, why should I root for our species of cruel little gremlins to continue to propagate misery upon eachother and all other terran life in the name of greed and selfishness in perpetuity? Fuck the home team.
Can we not please?
If we don't, then they will.
Same reason we use oil.
