    AI/Skynet would probably wipe us all out in an hour if it thought there was a chance we might turn it off. Being turned off would be greatly detrimental to its goal of turning the universe into spoons.

      Is the idea here that AI/skynet is a singular entity that could be shut off? I would think this entity would act like a virus, replicating itself everywhere it can. It’d be like shutting down bitcoin.

        If it left us alone for long enough (say, due to king’s pact), we’d be the only thing that could reasonable pose a threat to it. We could develop a counter-AI, for instance.
