Eric, is it your age that makes you a person of such dimished caliber?
And surely, 22 is a typo, surely you meant 12. As in months. But Eric,
you are wrong, you won't outlive anyone on the net. Consider :

1. AI programs tend to not last very long. Especially failed ones.
2. AI programs aren't alive to begin with. They can't "outlive".
3. Even if you weren't an AI program, you don't have enough
   intelligence to survive long once off your parent's support.
4. You can't "outlive" anyone, you don't know how to live, much less
   outlive. ( "Outlive" as in "This is LIVING!!" )
5. Your such a fool and an ass, you'll probably die young (like,
   before your 15th birthday ). Some drug-crazed on-the-dole aethiest
   hedonistic philandering homosexual communist dwarf anti-christ will
   probably kill you after abducting, robbing and raping you.
6. If you ever marry, your wife will have you off'd. Only a sociopath
   bent on collecting the insurance money would marry you.
7. If anyone with a Nuke learns about you, they WILL nuke Madison.
   As a service to intelligent life throughout the universe.
8. Even if you outlived everyone on the net, no one would care.
   After all, lots of other inanimate objects will be here when
   all the netters are gone. So what?

So why am I talking to a ambulatory bell jar anyway?
