Where are any of us going to run? Getaway from what? Where?

OK so you manage to rescue the HWoMBeP from his own monster.
Shall the rest of us scramble for a computer in which to upload
or a rocket booster in which to flee the doomed planet?

{8^D This is intended as a light-hearted post, but those of you who
are actively working on AI could perhaps reassure us occasionally that

Perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of the HRV (HWoMBeP
Rescue Vehicle). Is it to whisk him away to safety from the Singularity,
or from the hoards of peasants with pitchforks and torches that have
gathered outside the castle walls? spike
