Now people are telling me that it is because AI has become “too powerful” and somehow, shutting off the electricity for three days will fix it.

If AI is that “powerful”, shutting the electricity doesn’t shut off a computer/laptop/phone/tablet’s battery, and if it is that dangerously clever, it could turn the electricity back on.

These stories are getting more desperate and ridiculous. If you want to scare yourself, go to your local politician and ask them questions about things they should know. Then panic that you voted to put someone like that in charge who knows even less than you do. Give me a break.
