Most of the intelligence explosion (to the point where it becomes an unavoidable existential threat) happens in Joshua Clymer’s original story. I quote it at length for this reason. My story is basically an alternative ending to his. One that I think is more realistic (I think the idea of 3% of humanity surviving is mostly “wishful thinking”; an ending that people can read and hope to be in that number, rather than just dead with no possible escape.)
