I mean, this may have worked a decade or two ago, but if you built modern software this way the same government is going to toss your ass in jail.

"Oh no, I built a murder machine that I can't stop, I guess you can't prosecute me for that, it's out of my control".

You can only get away with that now if you're a billion dollar AI company. Otherwise the judge is going to halt your efforts and prosecute you for contempt and stupidity.
