These knife and lead analogies don't map well to the reality of AI. Note: just talking about the analogy itself not the point you are making.
Edit: hell I get downvoted and look where the knife analogy got us. A load of weird replies miles away from anything related to AI or DoD.
You should give it longer than an hour before you start complaining about downvotes. Or just let your comment stand on it's own.
I agree. I hoped people would get my point, but instead are arguing about gun laws for some reason?
