I want to thank you for this comment. It's this kind of subtle, low-key, informed speculation that generates good, hard sci-fi concepts, which are absolutely relevant to my WIP novel.

"oh what if the machine suddenly came alive!?" has been done 1000 times. But such concepts like: a computer can detect and act patterns which we cannot, in ways that are almost, if not possibly intelligence, are magnitudes more believable, and therefore, compelling.

Thanks! :-)

Is it about a tyrannical super-AI that maintains power over the human race by strategically releasing butterflies into the wild at specific times and locations?

Actually, it's a Soviet knock-off of a PDP-10. Constructed in 1970's India, the machine has a 12mhz clock rate, a 4M of RAM, and a directive to bring about "World Peace".

Of course, those fools underestimated it. They should have known better...

Why would it bother if it can just convince people to do the thing it wants done by talking to them?
