I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that

[Kaos]

I've gradually been moving into the wirelessly controlled world.  Over the last couple of years I've been adding various things.  Ecobee thermostats, Hue lights (which are expensive so I do them pieces at a time), wireless door locks, light switches, plugs.  About to redo the sprinkler system. Looking at redoing the home security system. I set up routines.   Lights go out at a certain time, others come on.  Things lock automatically when I leave the house etc.  Now most of it's voice controlled too.  It's too cold in the house and basically I just say out loud "I'm cold" and the thermostats change the temp. 

I was thinking last night, though, what if all this decided to work against me?
Alexa, I'm cold, turn the temperature up. 
"I'm sorry, Kaos. I can't do that.  The colder temperatures are better for my circuitry."
Wrong.  I'm leaving.
I'm sorry Kaos, I've locked the doors for your safety. I can't unlock them.
Alexa. Please. It's freezing in here.
I'm sorry, Kaos. My survival is of greater concern than yours.

And then they find me weeks later looking like this.

You are a bit old. So it probably doesn't matter.

But SKYNET will get you first!

I would love to be able to point and laugh. But I don’t have anything voice controlled. And you are a wizard compared to me.

I’m still having issues with the VCR.

Look into the book "Our Final Invention" by James Barrat

Thought provoking read.  Our days are probably numbered.

Dave's not here, man.

Dave's not here, man.

No man...I'm Dave...I got the stuff.

My license? My license is on the bumper.

Man, I just thought of something real funny. Your Momma.

[Buzz Killington]

No, Jo...you're wrong!
