AI Companies Hiring Bodyguards: Echoes of Early Internet "Internet Addiction" Recovery Scripts

If I asked you to imagine a scene right now: a group of security guards in suits surrounding executives from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, guarding them as strictly as they would a head of state.

Same logic—fear breeds extreme reactions, technology gets demonized, and then the physical world starts paying the price for those emotions.
