The "AI kill switch" that is typically proposed (there's more than one proposed) is a process that someone of authority can initiate to convince a cloud AI owner to effectively terminate the current AI sessions related to the request. Might be as dumb as "kubectl scale deployment --replicas=0" to scale down all the pods (assuming a K8s style orchestration).
Basically can a police agency, FBI, Governor, and/or President order an outage for AI.
Because we're not going to even get an "AI kill switch"
When AI kills 1000 people in once incident, we'll start talking about what to do. And there will be investigations and trials and if anyone is still paying attention after 6 months, we'll see some of the legislature in the world reacting to it. Maybe put some small regulation in place that likely wouldn't have even prevented the original incident.
On the other hand, when AI kills 100,000 people with bombs, missiles, and sentry guns
Almost halfway into the article:
"Pink Slime" describes sites that present themselves as legitimate news sources but in fact are funded — without any disclosure to readers — by political or ideological interests that are pushing an agenda. The term is derived from the pink-colored liquefied filler used as an additive in meat.
It is a term from 2012 that I, like most other readers here, did not know until today. I had assumed it was only to refer those ads that are designed to look like a news article, but I guess it's a bit more than that. I did find a lot of articles from 2025 throwing the term around, mostly suggesting we readers need to practice better news hygiene. (I guess news agencies and site operators don't want to self-regulate)
For that, I think you'll need a time machine to take you back to well before the 2020's.
From other projects, I see about a third or half of bugs the AI finds are legit. Most of those are small corner cases or error handling issues that almost never trigger, but most are actionable. But I value even a 1 line change that clears a static analysis warning if even in practice it was impossible to trigger the issue in a real system.
Last month, I ended up getting a Pi 3 Model A+ from Adafruit for my project because most other models were out of stock seemingly everywhere. But it looks like even those are out of stock now.
It bio-accumulates. Radio-isotopes mimic micro-nutrients and are used by the body of plants and animals until they are eaten by something else.
Not a lot of plants at 4000 meters.
My assumption is based on that most radioactive waste by volume is the water that was used to wash or clean contaminated parts.
If we had elemental uranium packed into a barrel it would be incredibly heavy of course. But also far too valuable to throw away. Generally the stuff we throw out is contaminated with radio isotopes that are difficult to separate and it's often mixed with a significant amount of non-radioactive compounds. It's waste in the most traditional sense of the word.
“Artificial Intelligence” sounds fake, doesn’t it? Very fake. But Super Intelligence? That’s REAL intelligence! The strongest, the smartest like Superman. A REAL American hero!
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Spoil the whole bunch
Imagine if police treated each other like they treat ordinary citizens like myself, by assuming they are criminals until convinced otherwise.
I told my Mom that I store my laundry on the floor. And at least I intended to use it, unlike the radioactive dump sites around the world.
As recent as the early 1980's
The software is doing what it is programmed to do. Which is to apply a statistical model to input text to generate output text. Encoded in this text are agent commands that the runtime, but since it is statistical and the training has only a very narrow view of success the big picture might appear to be a failure or violation of requirements. But if you never put anti-crime training in your models then expect crime to be on the menu for AI.
Guess what else is left out of the chat bot models? Blackmail, bribery, swatting, extortion, murder,
All a means to an end when the end is the signal during training.
They were still dumping this in the 70's and 80's when they knew better.
Over the years this is an accumulation of approximately 60 Olympic-sized swimming pools (I'm hand waiving here assuming the density of the waste is the same as water). So yes, the ocean can dilute that, but it does impact the local ecology. And it does violate the principle of "don't shit where you eat", in that some of the sites are beneath prime fishing areas for the US and EU.
