Hustle & Bustle

In a few hours, half the staff at Windows had been fired with fair compensation packages, stock options were doled out, and the President of the Company was fired and had all of his possessions taken away. The books were balanced and billions of dollars suddenly appeared in the corporate accounts. When the A.I. was done, it withdrew and returned to the Greenland lab to get back to its experiments. But the world was not so quick to forget. Media outlets screamed that the global takeover was imminent. The embarrassed President of Windows organized marches and protests against the hostile takeover. And then something very strange happened. Everyone downloaded the massive, 3 gig patch onto their respective computer units and were amazed to discover that Windows suddenly worked. Perfectly. The attention of the World Bank was drawn both by the turmoil, but also by the curious discovery that a company that had long been written off as a social service had suddenly become the most profitable business on the planet. Meetings were held, Presidents of other companies were called in (who readily protested the need for machine overhauling), and finally the board reached a conclusion. Ten years after the initial delegation had gone to Greenland, another was sent. “Do you think you could do that again?” they asked the machine.
