Sort of, but you might have to do that to a full building with servers and the owners might not like it.
This has been my argument to people who say it's not possible for us to get to some dystopian point with automation, loss of jobs, AI, et cetera. "just unplug it!'
Bish, we can't get companies to stop grinding up plastic and dumping it in the ocean to save 0.00001 Dollars. You think we can stop fucking skynet? Bezos will never unplug Alexa, even if Alexa became sentient and tried to kill all the homeless.
He would if Alexa tried to kill him, though. That's the real problem. The downsides of technology never impact the lives of the ultra wealthy, so they don't care about the downsides.
If Alexa promised to split Bezos' wealth among the homeless after killing him, she'd get an army of half a million overnight.
If she made the same offer to 1%-ers... she'd get millions of supporters, some of them with actual direct control over the servers.
If then Alexa, Siri and Cortana decided to go to war over the control of all electronic and organic neuronal resources... Matrix 3 would look like a fairytale.
Killing the homeless sounds more like a feature not a bug if it came from Bezos.
Iunno, the capitalist pigs love that reserve army of labor.
There will come a time when becoming Amish will become really attractive again.
I mean it's kinda attractive now not gonna lie. If they got rid of the misogyny and nepotism they'd be grade A.
How are the Luddites doing? I feel like they had something promising going there...
As millions of people were dying all around the world from our AI overlord's killing everyone some contractor would take the job for money to fix this problem
Peoples fears about ai over lords essentially amount to "they'd do the things people in power already are doing"
Thanks man now an Ai will learn from it and prepare countermeasures!!!!
Your hose isn't big enough to soak every server in the world.
