We need to stop talking about "AI safety" and the possibility of "rogue AI" destroying the world. 23/ 2554
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C) @doctorow.pluralistic.net · 19/08/2026When an AI company's security tool "escapes containment" and hacks someone else's servers, we need to ask the company "Why do you suck so bad at building secure sandboxes for your hacking tools?" rather than "Why are your hacking tools so amazingly powerful?" 24/ 519457
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C) @doctorow.pluralistic.net · 19/08/2026Above all, we need to stop talking about AI as *exceptional*. AI is normal. A normal technology has some uses, but isn't useful for all things and all people. A normal technology isn't inevitable, it's something you decide whether you want to use or not. 25/ 114036
hareksu.eurosky.social @hareksu.eurosky.social · 19/08/2026This so very much. I mean have these people never heard of airgaps? It's not that hard. Of course they should be held accountable. 100
Tim Lowe @timlow3.bsky.social · 19/08/2026This. I am telling my Mom, she's in her 90s. This regularly. All the stories about how impactful, positive and negative, AI supposedly is. Are a cry to heaven for regulation. We regulate medicine, transportation, energy, food for exactly that reason. 👇🏽 With great power comes great responsibility. 020
Ben Taylor @vox-dei.bsky.social · 19/08/2026The answer to this one seems to be "If we sandboxed the hacking AI properly then we wouldn't know if it was good enough to break out until it went live, and that would be bad." Which rather makes it not an accident. 000
