Why not both?
1) There’s no way I’d let an AI accidentally touch my production database.

Multiple layers of ineptitude.
Before this change, tax for software development was calculated against:
* Profit = Revenue - Expenses
And software developer salaries fell neatly into Expenses unless you were looking for an R&D tax credit.
After this change, tax for software development is calculated against this new equation:
* Profit = Revenue - (1/5 * YearlyExpenses[-1]) - (1/5 * YearlyExpenses[-2]) - (1/5 * YearlyExpenses[-3]) - (1/5 * YearlyExpenses[-4]) - (1/5 * YearlyExpenses[-5])
Which means that if you are in Year 1 of operation, your values for YearlyExpenses[-2:-5] are all 0 and you only get to deduct 1/5 of your actual operating costs for the year from your "profit". So you can be in the hole but still owe taxes on your "profit" for the year because what you spent money on was classified as R&D.

An obvious attack on Signal is to get one of your people a job working there, or to bribe/blackmail and existing employee, and have them install a backdoor or other exploitable code (maybe a secret weakening of the encryption?).
