If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

People like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are not geniuses. They're just evil morons who have been able to take advantage of a system built by and for evil morons. We need to rebuild a society where these idiots cannot get money and power.

Kudos to the Guardian for this description

Who’s leading them?
Its leader is Daniel Thomas, better known as Danny Tommo, the right-hand-man of the far-right extremist, fraudster and violent criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – who wants people to call him Tommy Robinson.

In other words, restricting the elevator in this is a bad tradeoff. It makes it harder for guests to visit their friends on other floors, but it reduces the complexity for an outsider burglar from O(|rooms|) to O(|floors|) + O(|rooms-per-floor), a much more feasible search space.
