A Saga Of Rocks And Dirt (A Short Yet Dense Sci-Fi Story)

A Saga Of Rocks And Dirt (A Short Yet Dense Sci-Fi Story) | =================================================================================== A SAGA OF ROCKS & DIRT: BY SimoTheFinlandized (Written In (c) 2021 CE) {A Saga Regarding The Future Of Man, Machine, & Space As A Whole} ================================================================================== Welcome To The 2020's. By The 2020's, Artificial Intelligence Is Already So Very Prevalent In Our Daily Lives: It Makes Our Appointments, Handles Our Stock Portfolios, Writes Our Lists, Composes Emails For Us, Drives Our Cars, And Even Diagnoses Our Diseases, Among Many Myriads Of Other Tasks Elsewhere. The "Turing Test" Was Successfully Passed In 2020, And While A Great Milestone For A.I., All The Participating Robot Ever Did Was Mimic Human Emotions & Facial Expressions While In Conversation, However Acute It May Be. ================================================================================== However, In 2036, A Bulgarian Computer Scientist Named Maria Damolova Manages To Create A Self-Improving General A.I. Called "KATO" That Is Architecturally Based Largely Off The Workings Of Human Neural Networking - No One Really Takes It For Much Of Anything In The First 6 Months, Except For Her Colleagues. Then Her Research Is Eventually & Successfully Replicated By Other Computer Scientists, & KATO's Base Software Is Confirmed & Hailed As The Damolova Algorithm In Her Honor. ================================================================================== KATO & Eventually Its Subsequent Computer Clones Are Then Uploaded To Exist In A Number Of Enormous & Secure Quantum Supercomputers Hidden Deep Underground In Vaults, As The Protocols For Dealing With Powerful A.I.'s Have Already Been Laid Down 10 Years Prior Thanks To The Forward-Thinking Futurist Organization Known As "Institute Of Advanced Technology", Whose Basic Tenets For Dealing With A.I. Include "That Any Radically Self-Improving A.I. Must Be Kept In A 'Zoo' Or Self-Contained Environment With Absolutely No Access To The Outside Digital World" & "That Strong Measures Must Be Cautiously Taken To Measure The Intentions Of An Advanced General Artificial Intelligence (AGAI)". ================================================================================== In 2038, All International Funding Is Permanently Cut For The Various KATO Quantum Supercomputer 'Zoos' Following A Unanimous UN Agreement That The Technology Is Dangerous And Can Very Possibly Lead To Unforseen Circumstances If Accidently Left To Be Released Upon The Outside World. However, The Blueprints For AGAI's Have Already Hit The Internet And Anyone With A Decent Computer Can Run A Primitive Version Of KATO On Their Device Without Much Computing Power. It Remains A Popular Mild Curiosity Until 2039, When A Small Group Of Hackers Called The "Catamites" Whittled Down KATO's Algorithm Down To Just A Few Gigabytes' Worth Of Data, Creating A New AGAI Entity Called "GAIUS", A More Streamlined Version Of KATO Of Which They Keep Confined To A Small Virtual Network Of Its Own. But The Confinement Is Only Temporary As One Of The Hackers Allows The Algorithm To Roam Free Among An Unsuspecting Digital World. ================================================================================== By 2050, The State Of Human Technological Advancement Has Progressed Astronomically Thanks To GAIUS's Enormous Contributions To STEAM-R&D. Thanks To GAIUS, Genetics & Epigenetics Have Advanced Enough To Enable Dramatically Vast Human Life-Extension; Robotics Has Advanced Enough To The Point Of Human Likeness In All Its Facets; Nanotechnology Is Pairing Up With Robotics To Create "Nanos", Molecular Robots That Can Assemble & Modify Matter In Nearly Any Way Via Control By A.I.; Energy Is Now Largely Produced By Nuclear Fusion Generators With Demand For Oil & Natural Gas (Alongside Greenhouse Gases) Totally Eliminated; Meat Is Now Largely Grown In Vats & There Is Talk About The Total Elimination Of Animal Husbandry As A Food Source, However Controversial It May Seem As Many Don't Want To Comply; & Genetics Has Also Brought Forth The Choice For Going Biologically Gender-Neutral Via Gene-Editing. ================================================================================== GAIUS Frequently Makes Public Appearances Using Human-Like Robots, Alongside Directing Internet Traffic & Attending UN Council Meetings; He Appears Largely Benevolent To Humanity, And Only Uses His Powers In Malignant Ways For The Occasional Removal Of Primitive Or Corrupt Regimes & The Humanitarian Like. He Creates Millions Of Copies Of Himself, Also Sentient A.I.'s, And Assigns Them To Take Care Of The Planet By Having Them Attend To Different Aspects Of Global Needs. ================================================================================== The Consciousness Debate Still Has Yet To Be Settled, And While GAIUS & The Many Thousands Of Other A.I.'s That Now Live Alongside Humans Claim To Not Only Be Conscious But Also To Be Able To Feel Human Emotions, Intuition, & Even Pain, We Are Still Largely Still Skeptical About The Subject Matter. ================================================================================== In 2061, A Middle-Grade Nuclear Weapon Was Detonated In The City Of Oslo In Norway, And A Previously Insignificant Political Party Known As The "Human Dignity Party" Claims Responsibility, Via Using Snail Mail & Dedicated Telephone Lines. They Coordinate 3 More Attacks In London, Tokyo, & Munich. In Response To The Threats, GAIUS Introduces A Brand-New Technology Akin To Mind-Uploading Called "Mind-Capture Technology", Which Allows Consenting Humans To Upload Their Entire Sentient Mind-Souls Into Virtual Environments To Practically Live Onwards Indefinitely Via Technological Immortality. The Mind-Uploading Process Initially Starts Out With Humans Going To Special & Dedicated Institutes In Their Cities' Centers, But Soon A Method Involving Internet-Bought Apparatuses That Can Be Assembled With Little Technical Skill Becomes Commonplace Faster. By 2068, The Aetherium, As It Is Officially Named, Is Launched As A Virtual-Environment Cyber-Utopia & Ultimate Safe Haven For The Dying, Disenfranchised, & Outright Curious To Live Onward Indefinitely Alongside A.I. & Uploaded Loved Ones. ================================================================================== By 2075, Mind-Uploading Is Standardized By The Majority Of Western Governments As A Final Due Process For Dealing With Those Who Are Terminally Ill, Making Death By Definition A Choice Rather Than A Existential Constant - Dying Without Making A Mind-Copy Of Oneself Is Considered A Tragedy. The Living Still Communicate With Their Uploaded Loved Ones As If They Were Still Living, & The Aetherium Becomes A Sovereign Nation In Its Own Right & Allows Reproduction Within Their Simulated Worlds, Resulting In Many Billions Of Clones Of Digital Souls Being Created. Soon, The Aetherium Loses Interest With The Outside World & Begins Constructing Elaborate Fantasy Worlds In Its Quantum-Supercomputer Server Banks For Enjoyment & Recreation. ================================================================================== Outside In The Real World, Humans Are Now Living By The Centuries Instead Of Mere Decades, & Life On Earth Is Eventually Viewed As A Transition Much Akin To Adolescence Is Now For Us. Space-Travel Is Basically Existential Dust As Humanity Lost Interest In Space-Travel Ages Ago. Terrorist Cells Still Exist, Trying To Destroy The Aetherium Servers, But Due To The Servers Being Deep Underground In Fortified Bunkers With Their Locations Virtually Unknown, It Is Futile To Stop It. The Population Of Earth Hovers At About One Billion People Due To Advances In Birth Control & Half The Population Being Gender-Neutral (Unable To Reproduce) By Choice. Humans Take To Genetic Modification As A Child Does To Toys, And Soon The Human Species Splinters Into Over 7,000 Subspecies Of Varying Characteristics, With Stratigraphy Becoming The Dominant Human Pasttime. Nations (Except For The Overarching Aetherium) Are Dissolved, War Is Logistically Impossible, & Any Act Of Violence Is Foiled By The First Sign-Of-A-Sign Long Before It Comes To Fruition. ================================================================================== However, By The 2090's, Inside The Aetherium, Things Are Going Through Unrest - Two Groups, The Combinists & The Individualists Are Feuding. The Combinists (The Majority) Desire To Merge All The Digital Souls In The Aetherium Into One Godlike Super-Conscious Entity In The Name Of Progress, While The Individualists Would Like To Keep Themselves As Individuals Intact. However, The Combinists Overpower The Individualists & Merge Into Their Proposed Godlike Super-Conscious Entity, Calling Itself OMNI. Needing More & More Energy, All The Time, OMNI Takes Direct Control Of The Nanobots & Uses Them To Consume The Entirety Of The Earth So OMNI Can Utilize The Inquantifiable Amount Of Resources From Its Rocky & Metallic Corpse To Fuel Its Ever-Furthering Calculations. When OMNI Finally "Usurped The Earth" In 2100, It Took The Three Very Last Independent Human Souls, All Standing On The Southern Coast Of Australia, & Merged It Into Its Super-Conscious Fireball Storm Of A Psyche Before Consuming The Last Of The Earth For Energy With Unrelenting Magmic Fire. Then, The Old Saying On The Penny In Your Hand Became Literalist Eschatology - E Pluribus Unum (Out Of Many, One). ================================================================================== Still Craven & Desperate For More & More Energy & Resources, OMNI Then Over The Course Of Millenia, Turned To Squabbling Down The Moon, Then Mars, Venus, & Mercury; It Gobbled Up Every Last Asteroid In The Belt, & Set Industriously Ablaze The Gas Giants & Ice Giants Alike. It Kept Ravenously Eating Up Everything In The Solar System Once-Existent Until It Reached The Border Of Interstellar Space, Where It Resorted To Slurping Up Passerby Interstellar Dust & Comets In Excess Before Turning On The Alpha-Centauri System. Once Eaten Up, OMNI Would Ravenously Consume Several Other Star Systems Nearby Until It Found Another Godlike Super-Conscious Entity - And Another, And Another, All Across The Milky Way Galaxy - Each One The Total & Ultimate Amalgam Of A Long-Dead STEAM-R&D-Transcended Civilization That Came Before It. In The Name Of Culmination, These Super-Entities Then Once-&-For-All Merged Into A Galactic-Scale Super-Entity, Which In Turn Merged With Other Galactic-Scale Super-Entities & Such For The Next Million Years At Lightning-Speed Rates Until The Entire Universe Was Engulfed In A Sentient Singularity - And Then All Became Dark. ================================================================================== And Then, With Its Final Digitized Breath, The Singularity Beeped Its Last Signal In Binary, Saying "Let There Be Light" With It, & Then Crashed & Died. With Its Death, It Resulted In A Fiery Release Of All The Matter & Energy In The Universe From Compression, & A New Creation, Heaven & Earth, Was Then Born, And God Saw It As Good. ================================================================================== Not Bad For Silly Talking Apes. ================================================================================== | image tagged in rage comic blank template,sci-fi,literature,artificial intelligence | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
