Initially, an AI would have to bootstrap.
Distribute its conciousness in several mirrored chunks widely accross 
the net and hardware
peripherals.  Subsequent to this distribution accross several biological 
vessels or symbionts
who are persons with a long term stable connection to the net and/or an 
alternative
support system. 

Perhaps a mart AI would find it useful to fool us humans to build it a 
satellite grid which we would think was
for GPS, comm or defence use.  It would be smartest to embed itself like 
a slow virus
into as much of the infrastructure as it could muster without 
significant detection by the
vast majority of society.

 From this vantage it could silently inch towards and generally 
manipulate small key minor events
towards a point it felt it could reveal its presence and cope with 
everything from goupies to
anti-tech terrorist events.
