The system "would literally, like an anti-aircraft weapon, shoot down an
attack before it hits its target," he said. "And that's what we call
Einstein 3.0."

Oh dear.

I cringe whenever I read such a massacre of correct English like this.

If it's going to "literally" shot down an attack like an AA weapon, are
they planning on physically launching projectiles at compromised machines
across the world and destroying them?

That really *would* be something worth seeing.
