In the cases people are talking about now, nobody bought the chainsaw.
The chainsaw escaped the factory before it was sold and then it exploded,
and the main federal statute imposing liability for exploding chainsaws
requires that a person intended for the chainsaw to explode.

I am confused why there's a debate over how liability for AI hacks
should work. If I buy a chainsaw and it explodes, the manufacturer is
liable for building a faulty product. If I buy a chainsaw and use it to kill
someone, the manufacturer is not liable for failing to build in [cut off]
