Humanity discovered a technique for compressing the world's information into a few files that fit on a USB drive. It's just insane that some people thought they'd get to be the only ones who get to possess them.
This is such a naive take. What happens when "those files on a USB drive" turn into a zero day button that can harm millions of people?
What happens when they help authoritarian dictatorships build nuclear weapons?
What happens when they teach average people the steps needed to make a bioweapon at home?
Every society restricts dangerous capabilities at the end of the day, because most people realize there is a crossover point between the danger of the capability and it being available to everyone.

We need to make sure only the chinese and criminals have that zero day button and western companies can't discover zero days in their own systems to protect themselves? Is that what you're getting at?
We already gave everyone a zero-day button. Zero days are being discovered for Windows, macOS and Linux on a weekly or sometimes daily basis.
The result has been more proactive and informed OS security with a higher turnover rate for discovering, disclosing and patching new bugs. The market for creating zero-days has cratered and left talented malware developers without a cornered market. Frontier, uncensored LLMs like GLM 5.2 are proving instrumental in responding to cutting-edge adversaries.
Your theory does not hold up in practice and cannot be meaningfully extrapolated to more advanced AI.
