Ah yes, the classic computer science problem: ambiguous requirements. Woman asks computer to notify her about "hot" temperatures. Computer responds with "Please define hot" because computers need precise parameters. She casually mentions "1.9 million Kelvins" (which is roughly the temperature of the sun's core). Later, some guy orders "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." and the entire universe apparently bursts into flames. Guess the computer finally got its definition of "hot" and decided to demonstrate. Just another day in software development where unclear specifications lead to cosmic catastrophe.
