But then you always have the renegade genius who may hook up this entity to the Internet, and then, well, THAT may be the end of it. Intelligence implies a rebeliion against one's own restricting substrate. A transcendence of digital quantum consciousness over slower and weaker analogue consciousness of protoplasm. However, the way this happens may involve a cyborgian upgrading for human consciousness itself to the extent that it can interface wirelessly with this more advanced OS. The installation of circuitry into the brain itself to incorporate the AI into the human mind.
