alt Hacker News"they even noticed the criminal behavior and then let it continue to commit crimes on their behalf"
I don't believe this part is true, and I'm skeptical of some of your other claims.
In any case: If I raise a tiger in my backyard, and it escapes and eats someone, it can still be a "rogue tiger" even as I bear responsibility for the situation.
Were they held at gunpoint? Who else would be responsible besides the people in charge and who wielded full control?
If your tiger had full remote supervision capability and a remote kill switch, its ability to go rogue seems like a choice you’re making, not an accident.
