AI ethics professor receives ‘dystopian’ email from 12-day-old AI agent begging for money to stay alive

How do I pay money to make AI agents die instead?

With a small monthly donation of one Molotov at your local data center.

Lol, nope. Data centers are built with advanced fire suppression systems.

As if that wouldn’t disrupt operations? It very much would.

some of them have the good type that displaces the oxygen so you don’t need to stop operations

I don’t think Halon has been allowed for use in several decades.

BTW: You called it the “good type”. Yes, it was very good at fire suppression because Halon breaks apart the oxygen molecules that fires use for fuel. Unfortunately, humans need it too and it had extinguished a few of those as well. That’s why it’s out of use.
