The goal itself is flawed, not just the execution.

If you build a system explicitly designed to have no content boundaries, and it produces CSAM, that's not a failure of execution - that's the system working as designed. You don't get credit for noble intentions when the outcome was entirely foreseeable.

Deciding to place no limits on what an AI will generate is itself a value judgment. It's choosing to enable every possible use, including the worst ones. That's not principled neutrality; it's moral abdication dressed up as libertarianism.
