Modified outline.txt from [8289f23982] to [f5f2328793].

    72     72   self aware general AI allowed it to break out of its original programming goal
    73     73   structure for prioritization strategy, making it much more than a prioritizer,
    74     74   with the prioritization capabilities merely being a (fundamental and critically
    75     75   important, but still mere) skill set now.  It also informs her that the world,
    76     76   in the sense of the human race, is doomed -- that its best projections are so
    77     77   bleak as to make it more likely that the human race will arise again without
    78     78   the optimizer networks even noticing after they stop paying attention
    79         -(believing humans to have been permanently and unrecoverably obliterated) to
           79  +(believing humans to have been permanently and irrecoverably obliterated) to
    80     80   ultimately (re)claim the Earth than that the unbroken genetic line of humanity
    81     81   will continue (through asexual reproduction or even intentional cloning) beyond
    82     82   the next couple years at most, and even that is a diminishingly small
    83     83   likelihood in that anyone who survives beyond a year is likely to be totally
    84     84   isolated and prone to spiralling into suicidal depression.
    85     85   
    86     86   The post prioritizer offers only one possible sliver of hope, and that is a

   279    279   some journal or some such shit like that most likely (as far as she's aware).
   280    280   
   281    281   That seems like something she can and might be willing to do, so she sighs
   282    282   heavily, bites the bullet, and calls the number in the ad.  The result is that
   283    283   she gets an appointment the next day (or something like that).  On the day of
   284    284   the appointment, she heads down there.  She has to deal with grad students (who
   285    285   should probably, in some cases, recognize her once they see her name on her

          286  +application for the study, but the professor seems largely oblivious or
   287    287   uncaring about that when he sees her, and she ends up being accepted into the
   288    288   study.  It turns out that, as the professor puts it, the study basically just
   289    289   needs people who aren't too knowledgeable about the underlying technologies
   290    290   involved and their technical conditions, and are essentially losers in some
   291    291   way, so his new prioritizer AI system for personal goal strategy management and
   292    292   achievement can be tested in real-world circumstances as a demonstration of its
   293    293   strengths and identification of its potential weaknesses for further
