I used to think that. But I now realize there will always be people having a job in said datacenter who will try to prevent that. As long as the AI pays it's minions well , people, will do their job.
But AIs need such ridiculously complicated infrastructure with all the datacenters and GPUs and memory fabs etc etc an AI that actually destabilizes the economy will wipe itself out.
Probably to save their skin if agent starts to do some unexpected things and bringing havoc. But I doubt that OpenAI models with normal subscription, for example, wont even work with this skill.
I would personally whitelist people with good enough reputation/contribution history. Might get the best from both worlds. Avoiding AI spam while saving time for the core contributors. If they just have capability to use it responsibly.
Judging by how many once-respectable expert developers I've seen start churning out high-velocity utter crud¹, I'm not sure that anyone has the capability to use it responsibility. (Except you, of course, dear reader.)
¹: Often correlating with a marked decline in the quality of their technical writing. I don't know which direction the arrow of causality goes, but I have observed LLM use inducing madness under reasonably-controlled circumstances – different phenomenon, similar principle. I suspect the use of AI codegen systems is causing the reduction in discernment ability, rather than a sudden drop in discernment ability causing increased use of AI codegen systems.
It is unfortunate. I guess we also can blame the social pressure. Most want features and don't value quality or durability unless something breaks and is unusable. Competence is often measured with shipping speed, rather than service had zero bugs over its lifetime.
Neither OpenAI or Apple "owns" the Linux project. As long as there is enough evidence that code is real contribution and not stolen property (if you can even prove it), there is no reason to deny it.
Investors benefit from company gains despite not having encouraged or mandated some decisions that enabled the gains. So it makes sense that they also get exposure to the downside.
They already get downsides if company gets fines or even goes to bankruptcy. You never know whether they invested based on information that was not true at all. Which is unfortunately too common.
It sounds like they need additional exposure then as they aren't assessing the real risks and seem to have completely ignored them. Why should society care that some group of investors didn't do their homework? Is that the excuse we use to avoid prison sentences now?
There are many, many cases where investors are misled by companies -- this falls under the (very broad) heading of securities fraud and it's easy to find documented cases of it. It's not a question of doing their homework.
There is literally no way to have the broad base of investment in markets by members of the public that we see today if investors incur personal liability. It was and remains one of cornerstones of any commercial society.

I am not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing, but I am saying just in case, that Claude can be remotely controlled from the cloud on any machine it is installed and set running, and can be commanded remotely.
