This reads like you’re trying to say “don’t worry about it, humans are vulnerable too and it’s threatening the way a 4 year old child is” not “correct, we cannot prevent nuclear explosions given that we have fission and yes we’re on track to putting fission devices into every single internet-connected household on the planet.”

I'm saying "stop trying to solve the problem of consumer market IoT fission bombs by trying to remove fission from physics - this just can't possibly work, and it takes special confusion to even think it might; instead, focus on the 'consumer-market', 'IoT' and 'bomb' parts".

"Prompt injection" is a vulnerability of generic minds in the same sense "fission" is a vulnerability of atoms.
