Agreed, but once upon a time there was a felony conviction: bsky.app/profile/john...
From computing history, blaming “rogue” AI’s is B.S. Robert Morris Jr unleashed a worm program that caused more trouble than intended, but far less dangerous than current AI’s. *He* (not worm) was convicted of felony. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_... I used to see him at Bell Labs w/ his father.
1/ I go way back. Ex: bsky.app/profile/john... Ken's supply-chain hack was in 1975, a few of my colleagues noticed something wrong, & I logged onto ken's machine & he hadn't hidden the code. A week or so or later I was in MH Research terminal room & he was talking about it with Robert Morris Sr.

And don't even get me started on what they used to do to people who scraped websites. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_S...
