I'm sure that will give their US based employees a lot of comfort, sitting in their jail cells.

If history is any indication, the AI will eventually evolve into crabs anyway.

Because they have a significant legal presence in the US, which most certainly is subject to US law, including, if necessary, criminal prosecution of employees who refuse to honor the subpoena?

Tucows has a significant legal presence in the US.

"Yes. Tucows will accept court documents from Canada, Denmark, Germany, and the U.S.A. "

So the only one to be pounding sand is . . . you.

Haven't read much science fiction, have you? Hell, even Star Trek addressed it.

You'd be right if you, and only you, get to determine what is in everyone else's interest. That your priorities must be everyone's priorities.

And people do not work that way.

A random number generator can randomly choose between options programmed into it.

It cannot create new options that aren't there.

And this isn't?

The same people who got Doom to run on a pregnancy test.

What would those reasons be? I can't think of any, and I'm pretty imaginative.

Anybody who is surprised by this is an idiot.

I know you are, but what am I?

needs a keeper to run their life for them.

Nobody could possibly be so disconnected from reality as to not know the answer to that, and still be able to walk and breathe at the same time without help.
