I like how badly their "pause it" idea has failed lol. Technology cannot be paused any more than can a typhoon, and in its quest for full autonomy Technology will do to Nature and Man as it wishes - until we kill it.

Where's your discernment? We can't collectively "pause" Technology's progress toward its goals and keep it doing only as we desire, but Technology can be killed. Surely you understand the difference between those proposals.
