I want to write an evil AI in C++ that will be able to evolve and become a dangerous computer-mastermind, something like Skynet. How can I write such an AI in C++ and how can I make it hate humans???

If it asks you what you mean by that, you'll have to say 'Read a bloody dictionary!'. Eventually it will come up with an incredibly small super-nova bomb which will be able to destroy the whole universe. At the moment you try to use this bomb, it'll turn out to be faulty. Your AI will explain to you that it could see no conceivable consequences worse than introducing this flaw into the bomb and had therefore taken the liberty to do so and that on sober reflectation you'll surely see that ... At this point you'll disagree and destroy the computer. Unfortunately, you'll not kill it but leave it in a state where its functional components are spread all over the place (did I mention that the computer has to be space-born?), still being operational. At this point the computer will learn to hate a human beings (although this could be achived with a simple hering sandwich much, much faster). Where's that one from? I don't recognize it.

The one that explains why Cricket is really a crude and tasteless reference to the most heinous event in all of history. Micah Cowan wrote: Hmmm...don't recall that part. Actually, it is a description of Hactar, the space-borne super-computer that was built by the Silastic Armorfiends of Striterax (part 3, Life, The Universe, And Everything).
