On CBS News, ex-Anthropic/OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon argued a rogue AI can't just be unplugged because it could copy itself to other machines, maybe making 10,000 cooperating copies. Critics mock the claim, asking to see the 10,000 8xGB300 20TB rigs such an AI would need, calling the doom narrative physically implausible.
