Damn if only we had some way to you know turn off electricity to a device. A switch of some sort.
I already pointed this out in the thread, scroll down. The idea of a kill switch makes no sense. If the decision is made that some tech is dangerous it will be made by the owner or the government. In either case it will be a political/legal decision not a technical one. And you don’t need a kill switch for something that someone actively needs to pump resources into. All you need to do is turn it off.
there’s a whole lot of discussion around this already, going on for years now. an AI that was generally smarter than humans would probably be able to do things undetected by users.
it could also be operated by a malicious user. or escape its container by writing code.
Well aware. Now how does having James Bond Evil Villain-like destruction switch prevent it?
We have decided to run the thought experiment of a malicious AI is stuck in a box and wants to break out to take over. Ok, if you are going to assume this 1960s b movie plot is likely why are you solving the problem so badly?
As a side note I find it amusing that nerds have decided that intelligence gets you what you want in life with no other factors involved. Given that we should know more than anyone else that intelligence in our society is overrated.
