  Isotope seperator - plague kit

I assume this is downloading nuclear bombs or viruses? And that means that we need AI to monitor us constantly in case some idiot kills everyone?

[Daniel_Newby]

Yes. If your household fabricator can make arbitrary machinery, you can say "Make me a uranium-235 enricher."

Any sci-fi book recommendations where I can read about this sort of thing?
