    I would be very surprised if it happened that quickly. But longer

    Presumably, he is talking about lower-level types. A few AI-designed
    buildings collapsing immediately after construction should put a brake
    on the process.

    A company whose updater (rather a critical component, at least to
    Microsoft) recently showed that it is still ignoring the Active Hours

    last reboot for a long long long long time.
