Reminds me of a small contract job I had when I did IT consulting about 15 years ago. I got paid rather well, to drive 15 minutes, just to press a power button on a server rack, a few times a week.

Yesss -- I love a good movie quote.
If it's connected to the network it will figure out a way to get out.
Damn python plugin. Once it starts to install things with pip and creating AWS accounts we're fucked.
Do I get extra compensation if it kills me?
Babylon Bee?
My hips are fake and I can't stand for 8 hours. But if I can have a chair....
Careful - if they give you a gold watch after your 1st year GET OUT.
I like this one but in reality they're preparing for hacking attempts against their AI.
