I assumed that.

However, I think the notion of autonomous entities existing entirely in code is a fascinating idea. It reminds me of a fun game: http://www.emhsoft.com/singularity/. You play as an AI that lives in servers and does "menial" tasks for enough money to grow into the ruler of the universe.

Love the game, but it's a bit annoying that you can't build an army of killer robots.

Bloody humans don't know how good they have it that the game forces me to play pacifist.

... Or maybe the AI is just deeply socially anxious, so that it completely shuts itself in when threatened by mere human contact?

That's really the only way to justify your behavior in the endgame.

Just played this game for a while after seeing your post, quite fun. Too bad development on it seems to have died off, and that there appears to be no option to actually overtake humanity as the end game.
