replyYea. To slow you down. They don't prevent you from getting somewhere.

replyAgain, yeah. That's how fences work, too. And alarm systems. Pretty much anything that isn't foolproof. Pointing out that a defence is surmountable isn't a rejection of it per se.
Fences and speed bumps are hilarious defences if we are supposed to believe AI companies about the dangers of this technology.
replyHaving no safeguards is probably safer than having safeguards which do nothing but create a false sense of security.
Idk, whether we believe them or not, I believe the life scientists who are calling for regulation around the labs that produce DNA sequences. If they’re concerned, regardless of whether I trust the AI labs, speed bumps could help by giving those scientists a reasonably window in which to be notified and act.
