It’s not AI at fault though is it?
Hackers turned up the heat in freezers to 50 degrees for hours and tons of food had to be disposed of.
What is the matter with these people and what will they think of next?
We have people here that can’t get jobs. Can we turn the clock back a little and employ a few to check the freezers overnight?
At least if one of them went rogue it would only affect one store.

I saw that, what it made me glad of is that I have a contingency stock of food. Everything is dependent on technology these days, and I think we’ve had enough hints from the government and Head of Intelligence to realise that any aspect of the food chain could break down, so we need to be prepared.

What a really pointless and awful thing to do!

The mindset of these kind of people really worry me.

Yes I agree. We have a large pantry. It’s pretty full of dried and canned foods.

It would be a very boring diet, but we’d all survive around 5-6 days.
