They dont brick themselves, they stop.

Fair enough, the models don't brick them Selves either, but neither do they stop.

Bandsaws don't cut crooked lines, or change the speed, they stop.

No those saws don't just stop, they absolutely destroy at least the blade you're using and potentially damage the engine mechanism.

But I agree LLMs shouldn't have such an anti-feature.

They do brick themselves- sawstop has to be replaced after saving a finger because the stop is quite violent.

I think you're splitting hairs here.

Most things don't have the ability to moralize, but if they did, probably more would. There are restrictions on watching adult content in some jurisdictions. I've heard that copy machines will do watermarks (or something like that) if you copy currency. Some cars will brake automatically if they determine you're likely to hit something if you continue (maybe I'm trying to drive through the front of a bank!). Some cars are configured with breathalyzers that need to be passed to start. Etc...

actually SawStop does brick itself, destroying the brake cartridge and blade to save your hand.
