Help me move off-planet...
That sort of thing. :) 
In a pinch, I'd use it to combat other AI's such as Eliezer's psychotic
"friendly AI" that are designed to take over the universe. =( 

If AI is even 1/10th as powerful as the projections I've been reading,
then I want to make damn sure that there is more than one of them
around. Regardless of how benevolent a given AI is, it should not have
free reign over the world. Only by establishing a balance of power can
our freedom be guarenteed. This was the wisdom of America's founding
fathers. 

This is serious business.
