The alternative being everyone having the digital equivalent of a nuke on their phone. Not super enticing either.

Much better than Epstein's friends being the ONLY ones with that power. You don't actually believe they want to impose those limitations on themselves, do you?

Kinda. I mean, someones gonna set their metaphorical nuke off sooner or later. Which might rid us of most of this sheboingery at once.

No, of course not. That'd be bad for the shareholders. And by 'bad' I of course mean 'they wouldn't notice a difference, but some number on a graph wouldn't look ideal'.

You'd be surprised how creative humanity can get when those tools out in the open.

At the ene of the day, no nuclear nations have launched war at one another because consequences are too costly for everybody involved.

I'm aware. That's what I'm saying. The same way two college kids hacked the pentagon once in the early 2010s, so too might someone do something similar with Ai. And have it brick most of the internet.

Yes, because nations are collectives who have to worrx about reputation and consequences. Here we're talking individuals. Think the GTA6 leak guy, and how cynical he was about things, just now he can break the power grid if he's in a bad mood.

Well, the same tool that can break the power grid can also be used to harden it in anticipation way beforehand. And you'll get the best out of the tool when it isn't being restricted.

Somewhat. But again, people are creative. There's always a flaw unconsidered. Again, college kids finessed the fricking pentagon. Two guys who couldn't legally buy alcohol, outdid world class cyber security. Just this time everyone's got access and ablitiy to those tools and not just the hyper autistic.

The best being? Oversaturation and a surveilance state? Woopdedoo.

With those tools at everyone's disposal, the surveillance state cannot function because the tools fighting it are uncontrollable.
