To be honest, if the power and internet go out, not much would be left, including meat-based technologies such as elbow grease. Can't power the amount of bloodsacks we have with enough biofuels once the electricity goes down and supply chains are disrupted.

Massive scaling down would be required, and we would need to "liquidate" a lot of bloodsacks if the loss of power and internet is permanent.

That's a truly bizarre claim, since plows and shovels work just fine without power or electricity...

At any rate, everything else can survive the lack of power and connectivity for a few hours or a few days. AI is only usable when the customer, and the AI provider, have both.
