Exactly. I have said several times that the largest and most lucrative market for AI and agents in general is liability-laundering.

It's just that you can't advertise that, or you ruin the service.

And it already does work. See the sweet, sweet deal Anthropic got recently (and if you think $1.5B isn't a good deal, look at the range of of compensation they could have been subject to had they gone to court and lost).

Remember the story about Replit's LLM deleting a production database? All the stories were AI goes rogue, AI deletes database, etc.

If an Amazon RDS database was just wiped a production DB out of nowhere, with no reason, the story wouldn't be "Rogue hosted database service deletes DB" it would be "AWS randomly deletes production DB" (and, AWS would take a serious reputational hit because of that).
