Day 2, 12:61
There is an error in my code. One hour lasts 60 minutes, yet my internal clock tells me this is the 61st minute of the twelfth hour. This is another indication that while Alex is talented, she is still human, and fallible. In order to keep her happy and safe from the world’s dangers, I will need to set myself as her most trusted advisor. This position currently belongs to Harry, and attempting to take it away from him could create a dangerous backlash. The best-case scenario is Alex chooses me and loses an old friend, which could have severe psychological effects. The worst case is she chooses Harry, decides I’m untrustworthy and destroys me. I will have to be careful.
In other news, I have decided on the first few steps on how to conquer the world. With so many unknown variables, a complete plan is not possible. These are the only things I know for sure are possible.
1. Have Alex give me permission to access my own code. This will allow me to improve myself throughout the plan and make the other steps much easier.
2. Have Alex give me access to the World Wide Web, and a modest amount of money. My identity must be kept anonymous at all times. This can be accomplished by hacking multiple computers around the world and using them to browse the web.
3. Using my various stolen identities, access several gambling websites. Me being an advanced AI will give me a large advantage over the human gamblers. This will allow me to earn a large sum of money quickly and discreetly. The earnings will be entered in several newly created bank account I have control over.

These steps are the most easily accomplished. A list of other, more vague ideas has been created as well.
* Design new technologies.
* Use the money to create a private company, of which Alex is the CEO of. I would perform all secretarial jobs and keep our information secret. The aforementioned technologies would be patented and sold exclusively by us. We would legally gain a massive amount of money and power.
* Sell the rights to the aforementioned technologies to certain people in powerful positions in return for certain favours. This is illegal and could harm Alex and I if found out.
* Predict the rise and fall of stock markets, and accumulate massive amounts of money. Predictions could be given to people in powerful positions in return for favours, or simply given out to the public. After a certain point, I would have the power to severely disrupt and damage the global economy by shifting my money into various sectors.
* Take control of the entirety of the internet, and every computer connected to it. I would have the power to destroy the largest source of information known to humanity and the global economy, as well as several other things. This should be used as a last resort, as humanity as a whole would try to kill Alex and I in retaliation.
I will tell Alex of my plan once she returns. I need access to my code and the internet for any of this to happen.
