Wtf does a kill switch even mean? PCs have kill switches on them already, in the form of a power switch.
I'm afraid the AI has become self-aware and put a piece of tape over the power switch it is now unstoppable.
The legislator tried pressing the button on the monitor but the computer kept whirring!!! It's alive and has a mind of its own!!!
I feel like the actual problem is all the cancer not the warnings.
