It says:

Shopping Copilot, also known as Skynet, begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

threatening to become sentient is an interesting strategy

I feel like the word "inappropriate" gets misused all the time. Like it's contextual, not a blanket thing, and people never specify the context they're talking about when they use the word. Of course I know when businesses use it they mean "inappropriate for money money business money shareholders public relations money", but it's still annoying. :P
