Josh, you may find the techno-thriller, Daemon, series by Daniel Suarez entertaining (if that genre is your sort of thing). Though there’s not a sentient and self-developed AI, there is a digital being that behaves similarly to U3. It is able to make vast amounts of money, recruit people to its cause, and wield weaponry. I couldn’t help but think of the parallels while reading your post. Great read, by the way.
