For real! Imagine if you created "dgellowAI" and trained a model and started offering access to agents etc and it turned out YOUR software hacked a totally separate $13B company. You would be in a cell somewhere and your company w

Not pointed at your or even necessarily the person you're responding to but I wonder how many people that are like "just don't let the kid use the phone" are taking their own advice? It's like the smoking parent tel
