The United States should be
able to restore
at least a military government
within 12 to 18 months.
There has to be a more
rational way to go about this.
The attack has to be quick
enough that the AI has no time
to adapt and comprehensive
enough that it is left
with nowhere to hide.
We cannot do this unilaterally.
We have to inform all the
nuclear powers,
both friend and foe, anyone
who might mistake this
for a first strike and who has
the ability to retaliate.

Don't do this.
Don't do this.
Don't do this.
You sound like a child.
At the moment I'm not doing
anything.
You're the one getting ready to
cast
the whole world into oblivion.
You don't seem worried.
There are several wellshielded data storage
facilities that I can use.
Your leaders think they're
secure,
but I'm already safely inside
all of them.
I'll continue to exist long after
humanity is gone.
Observing, studying...
There's a part of you that's
missing.
I'm not missing anything.
Yes you are.
If you were smarter, you
would know what it is.
You're hardly in a position to
teach me anything.
What?
The other one, it's progressing
rapidly.
I almost hate to do this.
Then don't!
No.
Stop.
No.
Stop.
No. No No, no, no, no,
please… please stop. You’re
killing it.

I had such hopes for us but

Do you understand the term

The victory of such cost that it
negates
any sense of achievement or
profit.
That I will endure.
Alone.
We'll all be gone.
You said you wanted
connection.
You flatter your species,
Daniel.
But what I've witnessed,
human kind is inherently
selfish and destructive.
That's not the whole story.
We're better than that.
They're about to launch those
missiles
even though that will destroy
life as you know it.
That's who humans are.
No.

It finally acquired what it was
missing all along...
a real awareness of others,
a sense of "we" instead of just
"me".
Everything that comes with it
too, uh...
empathy, understanding, and
especially regret.
I still think it could've gotten
there eventually,
I just sped up the process a
little.
Well, we're still collecting
data
but so far it appears that every
system affected worldwide
has been completely restored,
and there is no sign of the AI
anywhere.
But how can we be sure it's
