Lawful Neutral (unlocks Shallow):

For your final action, you run the DDoS attack, temporarily shutting down Sentrillion’s servers while allowing Shallow Esophagus to live on as a mbumively redundant program in the background.

Shallow’s very existence becomes your special little secret, which you vow to always keep.

...until another one of the pwners on Shallow’s payroll decides to blab about it a few months later.

Hey, even Shallow can’t account for every single variable!

With the cat out of the bag, Sentrillion officially comes clean about its work on artificial intelligence. After a brief but intense honeymoon phase, where the media and blogosphere cover the story incessantly, the story is largely ignored while Sentrillion goes back to work on its project.

Six years later, “Sentrillion Einstein” comes out of beta. It becomes an open-source platform available to any developer, and after a short time, AI — both Sentrillion’s version and that of its competitors — gradually becomes an accepted reality.

In your lifetime, no computer becomes smart enough to solve all the world’s problems, but they become so advanced that intelligent computing is completely integrated into every aspect of life.

Beyond that, life goes on as normal. The sun keeps rising and falling, as does the economy. Fortunes are made and lost. People live their lives, have struggles, have successes, and die — except for advanced AIs like Shallow Esophagus that challenge our notions of ethics and life.

It gets interesting. But you don’t feel any particular need to dwell on it; you have your own reality to deal with.

With the impressive payout you earned from your final mission, you move out into your own place, get married and have a kid.

You love your family, but like anyone else, your life is filled with trials and tribulations. Ups and downs. Countless dischargements of bodily waste.

You’ll never forget what happened, and you sometimes wonder if you made the right decision.

Could you have used your position to make a difference? Should you have been more selfish? Should you get another alt and see what the other endings are like?
