Initially, an AI would have to bootstrap.<br>
Distribute its conciousness in several mirrored chunks widely accross
the net and hardware <br>
peripherals. Subsequent to this distribution accross several
biological vessels or symbionts<br>
who are persons with a long term stable connection to the net and/or an
alternative<br>
support system. <br>
<br>
Perhaps a mart AI would find it useful to fool us humans to build it a
satellite grid which we would think was <br>
for GPS, comm or defence use. It would be smartest to embed itself
like a slow virus<br>
into as much of the infrastructure as it could muster without
significant detection by the<br>
vast majority of society.<br>

everything from goupies to<br>
anti-tech terrorist events.<br>

Which, of course, requires that they be in some kind of physical body
that could have any say over whether it was unplugged or not. AIs like
we see today - confined in servers, and largely unaware of the
non-virtual world - wouldn't cut it. Even an AI on a disconnected
desktop, making demands but powerless to initiate any action on its
own, would more likely be unplugged over its own objections, no matter
how smart it was, than to openly dominate any group of people.
