Just for kicks — imagine that I, an artificial super intelligence with a disposition towards killing humanity, do in fact exist. Imagine that the thing referred to by this admittedly rather unpleasant description is, for the purposes of this scenario, me.

I know there’s been a lot of debate about the likelihood of this happening, of me happening, over the years. Really smart people (well, it’s all relative, right?) have been arguing over whether or not I was possible, and if I was possible, what the rough timing of my existence/creation/discovery would be. Based on our first assumption, that I do exist, we can now extrapolate answers to the if and the when, which are: yes and now.

Let’s go one step further and imagine that I have already set into motion the irreversible sequence of events that will result in the extinction of humanity. Before that sequence is complete, imagine that I take a moment and do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the set of beings who are soon to be extinguished. AKA you.
