Oh, wait. You can. And if you are like most employees, and have a 401k or an IRA, then you do, even if you don't know it.

Of course correlation doesn't automatically equal causation.
But it suggests it, and makes it a reasonable thing to investigate.

Now if I had a drone flying around, for whatever the purpose, and crashed it into someone's apartment building, I'm pretty sure that I'd be arrested and facing all matter of criminal charges. In fact, I could expect a raid by feds and I'd be looking down the barrel of an MP5.
No, you wouldn't, accidental property damage without injury to a person is not a criminal offense.
Intentional property damage is a crime, but this was not intentional.
Bodily injury is a crime, but no one was hurt.
If you lose control of your car (accidentally) and hit someone's home and do not cause bodily harm to anyone, you are responsible for the repairs, you aren't charged with a criminal offense, you don't go to jail, and your home will not be raided by federal agents.

The Chinese government can't send masked secret police to my home to abduct me.
Federal police can arrest you for violating federal law. Of course. (Calling an arrest an "abduction" is just lame.)
You do know that you can peacefully change federal law, right? Just elect senators and representatives who will do so to your liking. We could call it "democracy".
You would have to actually convince voters that they want the immigration floodgates to open wider though, and I think you know that you can't really do that.So you choose street violence instead.

Besides hallucinating non-existent play-makers, they're also debating the best foods to serve. ("Hot take: Buffalo wings are overrated for Super Bowl parties. Hear me out — they're messy...")
Illustrating quite nicely that no matter how sophisticated they get at it, that they are still just word salad generators. Unless you think that LLMs are really going to get messy while eating hot wings
