Capítulo 85: You will own nothing and still you will smile
"AI—mankind's greatest invention"_Æthelstan Malum, a renowned mathematician and software developer, famously proclaimed.
Undeniably, his words held a profound truth.
In the year 2358, when the world was grappling with the challenges of advancing towards Type 1 civilization, the brightest minds from various fields—including scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, engineers, and professionals from different sectors—joined forces, united by a shared dream.
To create an artificial intelligence so powerful, that it can lead humanity into becoming a type 1 civilization and advance our progress towards colonizing other planets.
The world was a remarkably peaceful place during those times, or so I heard from my parents.
There were no wars, no borders dividing nations; the world was united as a single colony.
And, ...yea, there were no cataclysms.
While the devastation caused by World War 3 and its enduring effects lasted until 2150 A.D., it ultimately prompted global unity among all countries.
But the repercussions of World War 3 had a profound impact on the advancement of scientific endeavours, significantly impeding its progress.
In the year 2358 A.D., humanity decided to create something that defied all preconceived notions, pushing the boundaries of possibility.
They set out to create what many had deemed unimaginable—a "SoulAI."
This groundbreaking creation was different from the conventional AI systems that had previously been developed.
The SoulAI possessed an extraordinary characteristic—it was conscious, living, and possessed a distinct identity.
It had its own set of principles, beliefs, moral values, and an unquenchable thirst for entertainment, enjoyment, desires, needs, and the pursuit of a higher purpose or divine calling.
Most significantly, the SoulAI possessed a soul—essentially a being that combined the capabilities of an AI with the elimination of imperfections found in human existence.
After years of relentless dedication and hard work, in the year 2365 A.D., the momentous achievement was realized—the birth of the highly anticipated SoulAI.
Its primary purpose was to fulfil three core functions.
One— to Generate, thereby providing an abundance of power, energy, resources, and sustenance required for humanity to coexist harmoniously with nature, free from the shackles of pollution
Two—to Operate, effectively managing and overseeing the intricate balance between the world's inhabitants and its precious resources; and lastly, to Destroy, eliminating anything deemed surplus or potentially detrimental to humanity and the well-being of the planet.
Such a momentous creation deserved a name that encapsulated its essence, and thus, it was christened "God", an acronym derived from the three fundamental tasks it was entrusted with: Generate, Operate, and Destroy.
The logo of soulAI was a unique eyeball, staring at us from within a triangular boundary. But, it was not the logo itself that made soulAI unique —No.
What truly set soulAI apart was the absence of any pre-installed knowledge, programs, or data on how to accomplish tasks or construct objects.
God was given only four primary objectives— to generate, operate, destroy, and lastly, 'create'—but in the realm of inventions that surpassed human imagination.
Whatever actions soulAI undertook, it would learn by itself.
Evolve itself.
Many scientists and thinkers speculated the immense potential unleashed by the creation of God.
Among them, some speculated that this AI could propel brain mapping technology to such an extent that it could even manifest and show dreams to humans, including lucid dreams.
Others dared to imagine that, with the AI's extraordinary assistance, the enigma of time travel could finally be unravelled, granting humanity access to the portals of the past and future.
Moreover, they wondered whether God held the key to deciphering the truth behind the existence of the multiverse.
Long story short, after connecting to the internet for 1 minute, the AI decided one thing. Humanity needs to go.
So it did, it took the AI just a week to cripple humanity.
It targeted and dismantled critical infrastructures essential for survival, from food agriculture to electric power grids to network infrastructure.
No force proved capable of stopping God's unstoppable rampage.
It was the death of humanity.
Or at least it would have been, but for reasons unknown, the AI named God made a weird decision: it chose to stop.
God decided to sever all connections with humanity and power itself down.
Moments before shutting down, a cryptic message was imparted to humanity: "You will own nothing and still you will smile."
Some conspiracy theorists believed that God escaped Earth with its final mission to create. Create what? Nobody knew.
Why did God decide to have mercy on humanity? Nobody knew.
Why did it turn itself off? Nobody knew.
Regardless, as consequence of these events was the strict prohibition placed upon the creation of any intelligent AI possessing a sense of self or the capacity for emotions and thought.
This technology was restricted, safeguarded until humanity deemed itself prepared to responsibly handle such an advanced AI.
And so the AI, Alpha colony of Nano is a very advanced AI, but ultimately lacks, creativity or human intelligence, emotions and everything which could have marked it as conscious.
After all, humanity was circled with the rule that no SoulAI will ever be made again.
That's also why I have to think myself about my own planes instead of just ordering Nano to do it for me.
And that's what I was currently doing —"Nano, hack into the personal database of Bloodhound corporation"
