Comment by Lawrence Lessig

You basically have a bomb that you're making available for free, and you don’t have any way to defuse it necessarily. It’s just an obviously fallacious argument. We didn’t do that with nuclear weapons: we didn’t say ‘the way to protect the world from nuclear annihilation is to give every country nuclear bombs.’ AI Verified source (2024)
