Real software engineers don't like the idea of some inexplicable and
greasy hardware several aisles away that may stop working at any
moment. They have a great distrust of hardware people, and wish that
systems could be virtual at *___all* levels. They would like personal
computers (you know no one's going to trip over something and kill your
DFA in mid-transit), except that they need 8 megabytes to run their
Correctness Verification Aid packages.…
Fortunately, incapacitating "AI" is fairly easy. It's all still just computers & code.
I mean, I like the analogy but it has a limit. AI is like 2-digit years: a bad idea that many people always knew was shoddy but no one fixed until everyone did because they had to.
I don't know what the equivalent might be for "AI" but I expect that sometime next year we'll start seeing BIG stumbles that result in orgs running away (individually) from it.

Someone should invent a way for computers to count. At the moment both GMail and GitHub have incorrect message counts in my inbox. Again.
This has happened many times. Given that computers make it possible for me to order toilet paper for delivery by 2pm and then send me hundreds of messages about toilet paper by 5pm, it seems odd to me that they can't count.
But hey, I guess it's hard to count how many things are in a list, especially when the list is empty.

"The web was supposed to evolve into semantically structured, linked, machine-readable data that would enable amazing opportunities. That never happened. (...) We also never achieved truly personal computing. Computers could've been personal knowledge bases, with structured semantic connections akin to HyperCard, that take advantage of the semantic web and open standards. (...) AI is not a triumph of elegant design, but a brute-force workaround."
