The idea that AIs "behind" a firewall (a firewall isn't a physical wall for fuck's sake) are about to be unleashed upon the world and kill everyone is where my brain short-circuited the hardest. There are so many ways to make 50-year-old viruses a nonfactor, especially if they are supposedly an existential threat... which, give me a break, they won't be. Only someone who fundamentally doesn't understand computers could have written this. Since the entire setting circles back to this it is virtually impossible to take anything seriously.
