MODERATORS
It just says can be activated. Not "automatically activates".
Kill switches are overly dramatic silliness. Anything with a power button has a kill switch. It sounds impressive but it's just theatre.
They're safety washing. If AI has this much potential to be that dangerous, it never ever should have been released. There's so much in-industry arguing, it's concerning.
