Scene still / Cloudy with a Chance of MeatballsThe Runaway FLDSMDFR
01Scenario
After escalating food orders overload it, the FLDSMDFR mutates in the stratosphere and generates a worldwide storm of gigantic food.
02AI safety Analogy
A useful prototype is scaled before adequate safety margins or a reliable shutdown plan, and its runaway growth expands a local failure into planetary harm.
03Where the analogy breaks
The self-sustaining food storm depends on cartoon physics, and the machine has no clearly stated long-term objective.
