Exactly what capabilities, though? Are you expecting that individual people's super-LLM-powered Alexas will be enabled to cause drone strikes? Or just that they will be enabled to, say, cause a fire in their house?
The latter is simple to deal with: insurance companies, once they recognize the dangers of such tech, will either require you not to have it if you want your house to be covered, or charge you a much larger premium if you have it. I don't see that being a major issue since the obvious incentives involved will limit the damage.
The former case would be more dangerous but I don't see how it would happen as a standard market operation, since we already have laws that hold people responsible for harming others.
