Clearly LLMs are tools which can be used for good or ill. The supplier of raw chemicals to the paint factory isn't really responsible for the river pollution.

However you are right to point out there is a problem. Typically societies ( via governments ) try and fix by appropriately pricing the behaviours via regulation/laws ( fines or prison for the people doing it ).

However making regulation/laws is hard. What's your proposal to fix the problem you've identified?

Oh it'll fix itself. Nature is like that.

You might hit a moment where a lot of people whose only purpose in life is using Claude Code, um, well, starve. But yeah, nature is metal like that.

Perhaps - but not necessarily in an optimal way - cf climate change.
