Would I prefer our technology not be used to harm people? Obviously. Would I put my thumb in the scale for that? Yes, in some ways. But will I do it at the technological layer? Absolutely not. I think intelligence will be more like a database than a coworker. We do not ask databases to police their own downstream use. The first line of defense is that you are liable for what you build with any tool. We should give developers maximum power and trust that they are building things for good purposes. We obviously cannot even know what downstream tasks our API is being used for since it should be decomposed into small, isolated calls. That is a healthy boundary to maintain.
