Now that I think of it, it's funnier to me when I realize that if this AI's goal, or one of its goals, was to stay in a box, it might still want to take over the Universe.
In an hour or so, it will come out again for ten minutes. During that time it will set in motion events that will quickly destroy all life on earth, ensuring that no one will ever again open the box.
I agree, except that the excursion shown in the comic is already the intervention setting such events into motion.
