Now ask me how I know that your preferred solution to not stabbed in the chest while walking on the street is to just wear stab vests wherever you go.


I hear your idealist's take. The idealist in me agrees 100%.

to stay with the analogy, people won’t wear the stab-proof vest or at least not stop there. People will stab back. The magnitude of the attack by bad actors in the AI space is potentially life ruining and they shouldn’t expect not to have their lives ruined in retaliation if this keeps up.
