[PLUG] AI first initiative and related molten lava....

[Skool!lookS]

Since google is using something similar to or ..Linux kernel...
is this meltdown or whatever affecting our smartphones...

And how safe are we in hand of these technological advancements without 
necessary parallel thinking processes for their shutdown in case of 
emergencies?

Are we safe imagining users travel on *AI First* path in the light of 
Meltdown and Spectre whatever depth they involve...

Any stupid answer may acknowledge the receipt of this thought on mailing 
list...

and usual statement that Police Utter in United States of America when 
you are suspected of any breach...

You have a right to remain silent...! (meaning someone has already left)

:-)
