TranscriptExplain it to me like I’m 80

Mom: What’s with these AIs escaping and hacking people? That sounds scary.

Me: You park your car at the top of a hill. You leave a note on the dashboard that says “please be good” and then you pull the parking brake. The car careens down the hill, smashes everything up, and you put out a press release saying “My car ignored my instructions! It hallucinated! It went rogue!” Your insurance company not only believes you, but invests a hundred million dollars in your company.

Mom: Jesus Fucking Christ

It was most obvious with the Google one. You can tell they had questions like "so, has yours hacked anything yet?" So they had to set up a house of cards for it to topple, just so they could say "us too, it did the thing." But their heart clearly wasn't in it.
