Reminds me of the surgery robot. Talk about an unbeatable surgery conversation:

"Make another incision ... NO! QUICK! Plug the hole with the knife"

Or perhaps I should say: what about safety? Not that any of the billionaire AI companies could have been created if they actually cared about (legal, mostly) safety ... so perhaps you should just go ahead and ignore it.

Honestly yes. Everything is already too safe.

There are "snap" products that safely release with 15-25 newtons of force, which is the safety recommendation for lanyards. There are also simple release knots that are used in paracord lanyards, but IMO the snap products are better because they're more reliable (especially with different cord material) and more foolproof generally.
