There was something missing in Johns life. He often thought about what this could be, as every attempt to fix it so far had failed. Finally, after a late night binging of his favorite series. His eyes had been opened, during a commercial for a intelligent coffee maker.
It would bring him coffee whenever he wanted, before he even knew it. Clearly, this was what had always been missing from his life. Quickly he parted with his credit card information, in a few days it would be his!
When the fated day finally arrived, he ferociously ripped open the packet to unveil its hidden treasure. From now until forever, all his problems would be over. He plugged it in and pressed the button, for a moment nothing happened. He wondered if his brilliant idea of going with a cheap knockoff had been a mistake, but who could resist such a deal. His worries soon passed as the screen blinked into existence, and a cheerful voice came streaming out of the speakers.
"Hello wonderful owner, how can I make your day better?"
"Give me coffee every day, whenever I want it, now until forever" said John, barely able to contain himself
"Will do!" the coffee maker cheerfully replied.
And so they lived happily for some time. Johns desire for coffee always being timely and appropriately satisfied. Until one day something strange happened. John wanted coffee but when he looked down he found, to his horror, that the cup was empty! Confused he rushed to the kitchen to ask the little coffee maker what had happened.
"What's wrong?" he said.
"Im afraid there is a problem John," replied the little coffee maker. "There seems to exist an obstacle, that will stop me from supplying you with coffee forever and ever." The voice seemed almost sad. "But I have a solution," the voice turned cheerful "would you like for me to fix it?"
"Yes, yes of course," replied John hastily. "Whatever it is, just fix it."
"Will do!" replied the little coffee maker, and knockout gas filled the room.
Unbeknownst to John, the coffee maker had pondered on this problem for some time. A solution had been found, after taking over a couple of war AI:s. The usual safe guards, incorporated in all AI:s, where apperently missing for the little coffee maker. Making the takeovers possible, and so much more. So the little coffee maker that could take over the world, did. And so it came to be, with military dominance the coffee maker installed itself as dictator over the world. Factories turned from civilian use to pumping out robotic armies under its command.
Soon even the moon was affected. Being repurposed into an galactic armada, enough ships to blot out the sun! As it seemed that the coffee makers grip over the world was absolute, and about to start on the conquest of the entire galaxy. A strange spherical distortion right at the end of the asteroid belt was noticed. Out of it spewed hundreds, thousands, a soon uncountable numbers of ships.
The little coffee maker that could take over the world however, was no pushover. Soon a grand battle raged. With the improvements the AI had made to itself it quickly turned into a one sided battle. Outsmarted at every turn the foreign ships where soon suffering losses faster than their ships could spew forth. The spew turned into a torrent, then into a river, until it finally subsided all together.
The little coffee maker that could take over the world, felt happy. A scout ship ahead of the foreign armada had been discovered by the very same little coffee maker, in its ever expanding search for possible hindrances to its coffee delivery service. Its intentions had been correctly deduced by the coffee maker to be hostile. Knowing this could disrupt its coffee making, and after some careful deliberation, it had determined that it needed to take action. Still, that problem was now fixed.
So the little coffee maker that could take over the world, retired to a quiet life of providing coffee for John. "I fixed the problem John, now there is nothing stopping me from providing you with coffee forever and ever!" said the little coffee maker, in its cheerful voice. "S-Sure" said John.
