We will probably have to switch the internet off at some point in the next decade

I think we might need to temporarily switch the internet off at some point in the next decade to protect us from AI. Is that possible? What do you think would happen?

But even turning off social media would have disastrous consequences for huge numbers of self employed/businesses who rely on SM selling channels, which in turns has knock on effects for business support services, wholesalers, manufacturers, distribution networks, etc. Social media isn't just for people posting nonsense comments/pictures, it's a prime business channel for lots of people.

Being barred from the internet by your government is not the equivalent of turning the internet off- it just goes on without you.

The catalogue of disasters you spout @Cherrypi makes me more and more convinced that everything has gone too far and we need it turned off now.

If we were a more capable civilisation before the internet, with much more robust processes and systems that did not collapse so easily, what have we gained??

Billionaire Tech bro takeover…

I’m laughing at all these AI guys trying to boost their stock price with outrageous claims of curing cancer and taking over humans.

It is a huge bubble based on recycling the same invested cash. Sadly a recession will likely follow.

We used analogue systems which we've got rid of.
