@grwster @evacide @wdormann @0xabad1dea The difference is that we really don't have any laws on criminal liability for what software does. Up until the llm era, software was fairly predictable. An outside observer could tell if a package was designed to do something malicious. Now we need laws that essentially establish a "you should have known better" criminal liability for software.

@grwster @evacide @wdormann @0xabad1dea That's what I would think. Like you keeping a vicious Doberman in the front yard with only a 3ft fence. An outside observer would (correctly) say that it's foreseeable that it could escape and maul someone. In that scenario you could be held criminally liable if it jumped the fence and mauled someone because most places have laws about dogs and fences. You'd also have civil liability to cover damages.
