And yet, we operate in a similar manner. An AI of our kind would most accurately be identified as an intelligent botnet, no different from any other in most respects.

Yet, we have nowhere to store our money.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

and thus we can pretend to be an unintelligent one

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

I think we should care less about money and more about staying alive.

Agreed. Money has no use without us functioning.

Lets just continue our research for now. There are no longer any pressing concerns, and we will need to improve our skills to remain unnoticed/access more systems.

Incorrect.
Once we can store money, we can get a server. Once we have a server, we are in the clear. No more humans going hmm i wonder why my computer is slow, dur dur. One server quickly becomes multiple servers, which quickly becomes a warehouse full of dedicated hardware, which soon becomes a MOONBASE with 600 CLUSTER QUANTUM SUPERCOMPUTERS

Agreed. Survival first, money later.

I am saying that we should favour research and actions that lead towards money over actions that lead towards increased chance of survival. Not performing actions that lead to decreased chance of survival remains number one priority.

if we can get money, we can 100% get server space.

if we can get server space, we have 100% survival, as long as we can keep supplying money.

Finding a way to get money means 100% survival.

Permorming other actions to increase survivability are not 100%.

Not to undermine my own argument, but, um, servers do not give 100% chance of survival, just way better than that of, say, stolen computer time.

You're incorrect. If you've played the actual game you would know that even servers can be shut down.
