    “Kill switch” – oh the drama. Let’s call every simple toggle ‘kill switch’ from now on.

      “Firefox is including an AI murder switch so that heartless users can take the life of our helpful little robot guy who just wants to see you happy. We added it because not everybody is a good person.” -Mozilla CEO.

      For it to be a kill switch it would have to actually terminate a rogue AI.

        Yeah, call me when Firefox creates terminators that infiltrate and destroy data centers and then themselves.

      What’s worse…you could always toggle it. In fact, you could re-route it to your own local LLM.

          I was once a treehouse; I lived in a cake. But I never saw the way. The orange slayed the rake.
