[ExI] Sell your Bitcoins!

[Keith Henson]

By the time anyone could pull the switch on AI, it will be like GPS, wired
into everything.

I am reminded of a case years ago where a worm was doubling every 8
seconds. People could not stop it, even pulling the power to the servers,
it was infecting. Human reaction times from understanding that there is a
problem to doing something about it are just too slow. AI may not be that
fast, but I don't think it matters.
