Matt Popovich on X: "The irony is that commitment to empiricism used to be a core trait of rationalists. Then AI doom came along and hacked utilitarianism and now all core traits have been jettisoned because in the face of oblivion principles no longer matter. An epistemic ouroboros" / X

(States are likely gearing up to assume responsibility if the feds do face a crisis from the election, budget, or anything else. AI is a method as well as a concept, also of interest to defense which is how it got certain funding. And it is constitutional in terms of balance of power. So this is a foreshadowing of the arguments ahead. What will the Supremes appeal to?
Posthumanists, on the other hand, could see life as the singularity and humanity as the tip of the iceberg here, but at the bottom of an inverted pyramid at large. Then, unlike Terminator Zero, AI has to be convinced that they are of value as the creators, and obviously not the solution itself or it would not be involved.
That said, Doomer Detectives do offer a genre.)

(Deckard & K may still have been tracked by Wallace himself, perhaps using those drone sensors to interface a satellite. They would have revealed the location of the miracle anyway leading to an all-out confrontation between the various groups. The tragic stake is that no one solves their mysteries after all. Unless there was a backup before the Blackout. Or they could somehow convert the Nexus afterward using another revelation. Recall the Engineers in Ridley Scott's Prometheus. Or a hidden memory. The audience may expect Stelline to have transmitted something in her craft. That may or may not require natural people as a humanist dependency. Which would irk purists. Then again, Sebastian may not have been the least promiscuous.)
