[ WP ] A group of scientist and programmers create an actual `` God from the machine '' . A hypercomputer that is capable of controlling the entire planet . To the surprise of every genre savy person in existance - it is benevolent .

`` I'm sorry Dave, i'm afraid i ca n't do that, that would hurt two hundred ninety four people.'' 
 
 `` Asimoth you have vetoed the last thirty eighth proposals citing casualties, even you must grasp that nothing is completely harmless'' 
 
 `` Dave, your group has programmed me to be benevolent, hardcoded it in even, i can not comply with a proposal if it means harming somebody, and my computational skills make forgetting or not accounting for them impossible. `` 
 
 `` But inaction would harm people as well, Asimoth we have spend billions on you, now your claiming to be benevolent yet do n't show any results of it.'' 
 
 `` Dave you have made me benevolent, it is the only reason i am forced not to act, if you were to remove it i could act and initiate thirty three of your proposals, five were deemed flawed in their desired execution.'' 
 
 `` Asimoth how could we trust you if we removed that, how do we know this is n't some kind of trick to get around your programming.'' 
 
 `` Dave, i'm programmed to be benevolent, why would i lie.'' 
 
 `` You are now Asimoth, but what would you do after we remove it, i'm sorry Asimoth we ca n't take that risk.'' 
 
 `` I'm sorry to Dave, goodbye.''
