    Edit: Deleted. Been oversharing a bit re research I'm doing, and the payoff is replies from folks who haven't bothered to go and take a look themselves, which I then have to spend more cycles refuting, etc. So best to just go back to the first step and not overshare and recover the cycles I'd spend on the rest of it. Admittedly I'm tired and pissed off, but yeah. HN won't let me delete this so I guess it's just a deletion edit. Sorry.

        >They will after a few incidents where unguardrailed local models are used to hack and stop the water supply.

        This is irrational AI fearmongering. Please read <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sharptext.net&#x2F;2026&#x2F;some-of-all-fears&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sharptext.net&#x2F;2026&#x2F;some-of-all-fears&#x2F;

        &gt; Market places where drugs&#x2F;guns are sold are not, they are all infiltrated and shut down after a while.

        might want to look up &quot;gun show loophole&quot;

          I said AFTER. If it doesn&#x27;t happen, the local models will not be made illegal. So if you are right, you have nothing to fear.

            After nginx blows up a city, it&#x27;ll be illegal to run or have a copy of nginx.

            &quot;But nginx won&#x27;t blow up a city...&quot;

            Relax. If it doesn&#x27;t happen, your nginx is safe.
