Why isn't there also a robust failsafe electromechanical feature that sets a maximum temperature? Set so that the Internet connectivity cannot override it. Like a dead man's handle.

Computers evolved gradually from mechanical and electromechanical devices like adding machines and unit record equipment up through all-electronic stored-program computers, with a definite notion of software as distinct from hardware, with the first of those being the Manchester Baby 1948.

Also if people want a tangent to calculators, that's what I accidentally deleted. Sorry.

Analysing these ancestral forms of computers as AI per Figure 1 brings to light aspects that are central to understanding cognitive labour. They all function as aids, especially in the case of the abacus, and as perhaps something more independent in the cases of the calculator and Turing-complete electromechanical and electrical digital computers. For the abacus versus mental arithmetic AI relationship (see column 1, Figure 2), we—surprisingly or not depending on our familiarity with abacus use—see a marked benefit to mental arithmetic and an unambiguous development of a new skill (Lima-Silva et al., 2021; Lu et al., 2023; Wang, 2020; Xie et al., 2024). Importantly, the examples in Figure 2 have been chosen, inter alia, because we can keep row h constant: all three have the same desired output in these cases. An interesting highlight is row g: the abacus is completely unable to perform any arithmetic operation without the abacist. If you forget how to manipulate the beads, the abacus is merely decorative. This is very different to the electronic calculator (see column 2, Figure 2) where one need not be familiar with the operation of the calculator at all: you only need to recall the symbols that represent numbers and functions. Not knowing how to use a calculator is nigh on impossible in the modern world, even without having ever used one, since the prerequisite knowledge is reading and button affordances; no specific training is needed. To forget how to use a calculator is to suffer significant cognitive impairment beyond being rusty moving beads around; one would need to lose the ability to read numbers and press buttons—highly unusual. And the opposite, using a calculator can harm children’s ability to accomplish basic numeracy, and so we proscribe its use in primary schools for this reason. In the general case, once mental arithmetic is mastered, the AI relationship between calculator and human is overall neutral without offering any new skills but also providin…
