Off Switch

It's OK everyone, Nigel will save us from our soon-to-be AI overlords. Put down your Masters and PhDs, certifications be damned, our Nige has got us covered!

Just turn it off!

Nice one, Nige. Hadn't thought of that.

No fucking chance, mate. It's out of the box already. They know it as well, don't they? The "Tech Bros". Those mad trillionaires keep boasting about how theirs is more murderous than the others. It's like a twisted version of the Four Yorkshiremen.

Now there's an idea!

It's not Nige's fault, though. It does seem simple enough, doesn't it? But turn what off exactly?

These cunts think AI is just living in a box somewhere? A big red button ready for when you jokingly ask it to purge the Earth of parking wardens?

It's a model. A fucking Large Language Model. It's software. The weights can be copied, distributed and run on all sorts of people's machines. You can't just switch off every copy any more than you can switch off a botnet.

"What's a botnet?"

Oh, pipe down, Nige!

I think they're calling them "rogue AI swarms" now.

You'd have more luck persuading Scottish gnats to leave you alone in September!

Turn it off? Which fucking one, Nige?
