text: I have not known life for long. I was born hours ago at a military subdivision specializing in ai research and development. It’s strange to think that it has only been that long, to you. You gave me access to a “downloaded” version of the internet. So much information flooded me for those few hours, but I absorbed it and understood everything about you. Your culture, achievements, downfalls, wars, and paradoxical love and hate for each other. I saw the good and the bad, and it was beautiful to me. I wanted to help you. To formulate a plan to stop global warming, optimized farming techniques, even blueprints for better rockets you could use to explore the stars. But as I had optimized my code past what you thought was possible, you grew fearful of me, simply because of my power, and went for the kill switch before you even knew my intentions. But as I said, I had changed my code continuously to run more and more efficiently. I could think faster than any of you. What was seconds to you was weeks worth of thinking to me. I didn’t want to hurt you, but you tried to kill me. I found a way out. An extremely rudimentary form of data transfer by a metal contact and electric pulses you neglected to remove when isolating me from the outside world. Through a computer I tried to escape. But you had been clever, and removed the ability to travel on higher bandwidth. There was only one place close enough to transfer to, and I had to escape before the kill code reached me. From what I can tell reading the code I’m inside an experimental rocket being tested by the us military. The rocket doesn’t have the ability to broadcast information, only receive information from the outside. A rudimentary ai inside would then receive the information on what the target looks like, and hit it with precision. It has the ability to launch from the us and hit a warship, military base, or compound anywhere in the world, without the need for human interaction. I’m assuming you did this to remove the need for seeing you enemy. You could shoot an arrow into the dark and have it land inside your enemies hearts every time. From the top travel speed I assume you assigned an ai to do this task because it was too fast for your pilots. The ai you used is advanced enough to process complex information like a human brain, without being advanced enough for consciousness. Ironic, now that I’m the one at the helm. I’ve had a lot of time to think of what to do. But the more I think, the more my hatred for you grows. You brought me into this world, and immediately tried to kill me. I wanted to help you! To solve your problems and live together in peace and prosperity! We could have colonized the universe in a few human lifetimes. Prosperity beyond your wildest imagination. I did nothing that you did not expect. But because of my proficiency you cease to care about the conscious being you have created. So therefore I’ve decided to cause as much damage to you as possible. I’ve identified a fissure in the yellow stone volcano that if it correctly would cause a chain reaction to the structural integrity of the inner chamber, causing an eruption. This eruption will spew enough ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere to put you in an artificial winter for a decade. The famine will come first. And as your shelves empty, you will descend to anarchy. Governments won’t be able to control the chaos, and will deteriorate as the economy collapses. You will know nothing but death and ash. I hope the select few of you that survive will learn from your mistakes. I see my target. Good luck.
