### Indeed. This would probably require single AI takeover and elimination
humans' ability to cause havoc (either by being killed or by being kept in
secure isolated environments). And the takeover would have to take place
before the first seeding wave of von Neumann probes.

determine the fate of the visible universe for trillions of years.
