Airbags, yes. But you can't just make it provably impossible for a car to crash into something and hurt/kill its occupants, other than not building it in the first place. Same with LLMs - you can't secure them like regular programs without destroying any utility they provide, because their power comes from the very thing that also makes them vulnerable.

    I see you've given up. I haven't. LLM inside deterministic guardrails is a pretty good combo.

And yet in the US 40,000 people still die on average every year. Per-capita it's definitely improving, but it's still way worse than it could/should be.

    Yes, and a photo you put on your physical desktop will fade over time. Computers aren't like that, or at least we benefit greatly from them not being like that. If you tell your firewall to block traffic to port 80, you expect all such traffic to be blocked, not just the traffic that arrives in the moments when it wasn't distracted.
