Only two of those things are true, and the first led you to the fallacy of expecting trends to continue unabated. As I stated in a previous comment when this topic came up, airplanes had exponential growth in speed from their inception at 44 mph to 2193 mph just 79 years later. If these trends continue, the top speed of an airplane will be set this year at Mach 43. (Yes, I actually fit the curve.)[0]

How do you stop a crazy AI? You turn it off.

Pout pleas. Keep it preying about fantasy bogeyman instead of actual harms today, and never EVER question why.

Do you actually really think that the most accomplished scientists in the field signed a petition and are shouting from hilltops because noone thought to unplug it? Are you convinced that you found the solution to the problem?

I'd bet a lot of money you have not read any of the existing literature on the alignment problem. It's kind of funny that someone thinks "just unplug it" could be a solution.
