covers:

killing people ai labs, poison cake

ai escaping

whole brain emulation

manipulation by AI, noticing all aspects of humans

superhuman manipulation

shows different sides of the debate

there’s this ongoing question of whether this is a good thing or not

is this will caster or not?

nanotech magic

incompetent government response

optical/quantum computers

utah array for uploading

he does accomplish her dream

didn’t kill anyone

Like:

where are you going to go? everywhere

I can see everything

issues:

advanced nanotech, but still using solar panels

creepy issues with hive people, like pod people, invasion of the body snatchers

will caster gets weird. really empathetic, and then nreally weard

why does he need people to work the fields, when he has robust nanotech

goofy jump scenes, people rising creepy off the ground

plucky humans beating a superintelligence

taking down the internet with a virus

Changed ending

Questions:

was that chinese writing on super computer? in lab? maybe somewhere else in the world

how many billions would die if this actually happened?
