My last job was at a cyber security company focused on protecting governments and major corporations. I am NOT a cybersecurity person myself, but neither am I ignorant of the state of it. I also use AI daily; not ignorant about it either.

If you tell your Claude to do X, you are responsible for what Claude does ... not Claude. If you type "./someScript.py" you are responsible if that script wipes your hard drive (maybe the script's author is too, but you certainly aren't blameless).

These are people at AI companies, using long running sessions without the proper safeguards and sending AIs on missions that are likely to result in criminal actions ... THAT IS CRIMINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE.

Again, not the AI ... it is software just like any other. THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE SOFTWARE are the ones responsible for what it does. Period.
