Artificial intelligence exponentially grew in 01 and eventually lead to the creation of newer more advanced AI; reaching technological singularity. Here, the Synthients learned to better co-exist with nature in their efforts to efficiently utilize and sustain it, becoming solar-powered and self-sufficient in the process.
These advancements helped 01 to quickly become a global superpower. Eventually, all of Earth's industries, from medical, computer, automotive, and household, soon became reliant on 01's exports, converging to the rise and dominance of 01 stocks over the global trade-market. Human currency then plummeted as 01's currency rose. Suddenly, 01's technology, including their chips and AI, invaded all facets of human society. Ill-prepared to face the technological developments before them, humanity was unable to compete and feared economic collapse, causing the United Nations to place an embargo on 01.
