Mom: What’s with these AIs escaping and hacking people? That sounds scary.

Me: You park your car at the top of a hill. You leave a note on the dashboard that says “please be good” and then you pull the parking brake.

It went rogue!” Your insurance company not only believes you, but invests a hundred million dollars in your company.
