       | But this is different. AI agents in the wrong hands are
       | dangerous. The reason these guys were even able to detect this

       | Now imagine if everyone had nuclear weapons. Would that make the
       | world safer? Hardly. The probability of no one using them becomes
       | infinitesimally small. And if everyone has their own AI running
       | on their own hardware, they can do a lot of stuff completely
       | undetected. It becomes like slaughterbots but online:
