It's not going away unless computers themselves go away or become massively less powerful. Open weights exist. They're out there. This is an irreversible change. The democratization of persistent cybersec threats is completed and won't be rescinded.

Somebody is supplying power to those AIs. That somebody can be charged for not taking care of their AIs (that is not pulling the plug). Sure this then turns into international crimes, but not allowing crimes to be committed on your side of the border is a big help even if we can't get everything.
