So I wondered what might happen if they decided to put their
numerical superiority to their advantage by taking over the world, and
constructed a lengthy scenario along those lines, intending to write it up as a
blog post. But then I discovered that it became brain-numbingly complicated when
it came to the point where the world’s computers had to decide whether to
support the humans or the mobile phones, or even engage with a game of their
own playing one off against the other.
With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, I gave
up the post and decided on ‘What the hell. Just send the damn spaceship and
take me home.’
