The origin of the problem is the vast gulf in fitness between us and
them. We can't change anything about them, because they are created in
a developmental detonation, but we can delay the detonation, and work
a bit on our fitness. Uploaders might be a tad slower to develop
(explode, not detonate) and they might haul the rest of the humanity
with them before they evolve too far, and become identical with the
original enemy we set out to combat.
