I find any government to be more of a boogeyman than any private company because the government has the right to violence and companies come and go at a faster rate.

Ok, and if Raytheon builds an AI and tells a government "trust us, its safe", arn't you just letting them create a scape goat via the government?

Seriously, Businesses simply dont have the history that governments do. They're just as capable of violence.

All you're identifying is "government has a longer history of violence than Businesses"

The municipal utility provider has a right to violence? The park service? Where do you live? Los Angeles during Blade Runner?
