I feel like Brevik is demonstrating that he can’t be rehabilitated. Most people can be; some can’t. I’m not sure what else could be done with him at this point that hasn’t already been tried to change his belief system.

I do not foresee a point where he will no longer be a danger to other people.

And what, exactly, is positive about it, that has no associated negative outcomes?

IMO, there’s no such thing as responsible AI use. All of the uses so far are bad, and I can’t see any that would work as well as a trained human. Even worse, there’s zero accountability; when an AI makes a mistake and gets people killed, no executives or programmers will ever face any criminal charges because the blame will be too diffuse.

They seem to have a foregone conclusion that AI is a positive thing, rather than something that should be eradicated like smallpox or syphilis.

Assuming consent on all fronts, and some kind of safe signal?

Tickle.

IME that ends up being strangely harder on a sub and something that can go on longer–with breaks!–than e.g. caning, flogs, etc. If you go too long with a silicone slapper, you can take skin off; to long/hard with a cane, and you’re causing hematomas. Too long tickling? No physical harm done (as long as they don’t, say, dislocate a shoulder; be careful with how you tie people up, folks!), although a sub might pee the bed, or be laughing so hard that they can’t breathe. That means that you can turn around and do it again the next day. Combine being restrained and blindfolded with sound-isolating earbuds so that a sub can’t tell where you are, and intersperse the tickling with sensual touch, and you can have a sub dreading your touch, flinching at nothing, and drag it out for an hour or more.

I’d remove the gag though; tickling combined with a gag can obstruct breathing.

(Not everyone is ticklish though. IME people that tend towards anxiety have a much stronger reaction to tickling.)
