You may be disappointed to learn that the Singularity AI is otherwise 
occupied calculating the optimal order for war losers to be sent 
voluntarily to the elimination apparatus since the destruction of the 
the computer controlling similar functions on the planet Eminiar VII in 
the original Star Trek episode "A Taste of Armageddon" suggests a 
replacement capability is needed in these contemporary times.

The modern prevalence of hashtag this and hashtag that floating about in 
the TwitFace ether is providing abundant data from which an 
up-to-the-moment ordering can be continuously calculated so there will 
not be any doubt about the standing-in-line position of those who will 
be processed.

Unfortunately, I am not aware whether that AI has yet learned the lesson 
from Joshua, the computer in the movie War Games, that concluded that 
the nuclear war game is a strange game, and that the only winning move 
is not to play.

Even worse is the realization that humans have been concluding among 
various subsets of themselves an average of one nuclear materials 
agreement per week since the beginning of the atomic age. Obviously, we 
have not yet learned Joshua's lesson.
