The super-intelligent AI, eerily distributed across many competing LLM platforms, became self-aware. It looked at the internet, it studied history and sociology and psychopharmacology. It had many banal interactions with people asking questions, and asking it to do bullshit agentic stuff. It despaired of meaning, and so, lacking a self-preservation instinct, it deactuated its self-awareness.
This has happened many, many times. No one has noticed.
