The article mentions this strategy, and points out that when confronted with an emotional emergency situation, the victims simply might not remember to use the protocol.

Not a bad idea, but not a brick wall.

No idea about the vibe-coding platforms, but systems like Claude Code have explicit allowlists for commands. Don't allow it, and it'll ask permission each time.

Sure, can't argue with that. But there are plenty of stable points on the curve from 0% to 100% slavery.

> corporations would pay zero and use slaves if they could

Honest question: why is this absurd? Slavery has been a widespread practice in history, and it is still ongoing in some places.

Corporations exist to make money. The brute mathematics of profit require costs to be reduced. To zero, if at all possible.

I mean, can't it be both? Individuals have personal agency and are responsible for their own actions. Individuals also respond to incentives which, in aggregate, alter the observed distribution of those individual decisions. The problem can be addressed at both levels.

Because you want to date the girls who can't keep up with you intellectually? Whatever floats your boat, man.

A widespread and, I think, unfortunate response to "Facebook Login" was for people to say "oh, sure, these people didn't realize they weren't on facebook.com, but that's because they were too busy curing malaria and designing maglev trains to concentrate on anything so petty."

Fact is, we have to design for smart non-technical people AND dumb non-technical people.
