I have a plan. Posts here have convinced me that the singularity will most likely be a lose condition for most people. So I'll only activate my plan if I think other actors are getting close.

This post reminds me of Denethor saying the Ring was only to be used in utmost emergency at the bitter end

becomes wildly curious

Since you posted above that you're participating in the AMA, can you give some details of this plan? (Assuming step one isn't "tell people about this plan", in which case please don't end the world just because you precommitted to answering questions.)

I think sharing concrete details would be a bad idea, but it's not like I've come up with any clever trick. I'll do it the same way I'd do anything else - buy what I can, make what I can't. I am (rightly or not) very confident in my programming abilities.
