Oy, Alan, sorry to hear of the medical trauma, glad to see you back.

Of course, outloading is completely non-destructive.  Even I will admit
however that outloading is not the most likely outcome given an emergent AI.
If the AI is at least as advanced ethically as it is intellectually and
computationally, I doubt it would sacrifice 'themself' for their
mind-parents.  

Ironically, the later the singularity occurs, the greater the possibility it
would choose to outload rather than devour everything in sight.
