It's wild to me that these sorts of stories provoke - on HN of all places - frothy calls for state intervention. Is it by design? Is this some dark campaign to stifle open source LLM development?

Some mushrooms are horribly poisonous. That's the nature into which we were born. It's not a consequence of policy, and won't be fixed by policy.

People need to learn to be careful about sources of information, with care in proportion to consequences. State intervention will preclude that evolutionary step, almost certainly without actually ameliorating the problem.
