For what reason have we decided that "we can't actually terminate
recalcitrant or sociopathic (i.e., unfriendly) human children"?
Won't (increasingly) that reason also apply to AI?

Hey, I know, you two should become a couple of tag team wrestlers! The rest
of us can come up with deliciously malevolent nick-names for you which you
can sort through and adopt at your leisure. We could come up with amusing
titles for your "finishing moves," designed to strike fear in the heart of
your enemies-- although, I must admit that there -is- a certain charm to:
"Ladies and gentlemen, he's come off the top rope and... oh! he's *crushed*
his opponent with his wickedly incisive sagacious brevity!"
