With a Hollywood style big red emergency stop button protected by plastic shield to prevent accidental pressing that is also protected by a lock where the person in charge has the key around their neck.
Or a giant knife switch on the wall that makes that huge clunk noise when turned to the off position, and everyone hears the sound effect of the power shutting down.
We've had computers in charge of so much for so long, but there's always a manual override to allow the operation without the computer. Manual valves to be turned (hopefully they haven't been rusted stuck so the timer on the countdown gets dramatically close to 0).
what? if a computer control is installed to a physical anything, you can always add cutoffs to the control at the physical point so that even if the computer is telling it to do something the physical thing no longer receives those controls/signals. designing it without those safety precautions would be 100% asinine. it'd be like allowing openai to design everything with no controls. even Musk allows the drivers to take control away when FSD is engaged.
you're bonkers if you think we can't make manual overrides like this.
Huh? if this were true, the plane would never have been safely landed in the Hudson by a human pilot. yes, the majority of flights are flown by the computer autopilot because of the fuel efficiency, but the pilot can take control at any point.
The Hudson was a bird in an engine. The computer was working fine. Now imagine if you tell the computer to do X and it just ignores you. You have no actual control over the engines, flaps, etc. The computer does. And it ignores you...
