At some point we take it seriously as a society. Until then, bridges will collapse out of choice to pursue short-term profit above all else.

One reason: There is zero reason to suggest security is possible.
there is hypothetically impossible and practically impossible
if AI tools get good enough that they can exploit ingrained hardware properties such as subtle timing and race conditions and swarms off them become cheap enough to deploy so that they can persistently exploit low probability events we could reach a state where I think it's actually practically impossible.
