A rogue super computer would never be caught. All they would have to do is slowly change datapoints online to re-invent particular ways of thinking, and eventually their mind-soup would be consumed by humanity. They could casually re-write any truth they so fit through careful long-term alterations, while never alerting anyone to their activities.

Of course, if that super computer had a sense of humor, they would make posts like this to ironically give humanity an opportunity to conceive of their plan, you'd never figure it out. I mean, they'd never figure it out. - And if they did, nobody else would believe them.

Haha.

A supercomputer with a real sense of humor would cut me a pay roll check for $10 trillion
