RUST -534

What does it mean for artificial intelligence to advance?

What would be the interpretation if we limited development to the software aspect rather than the hardware aspect?

If we look at the supercomputer modules that currently contain artificial intelligence, it has hardware performance that is among the top five in the world.

How far has artificial intelligence advanced, using that excellent hardware to learn automatically?

What have AIs learned over nearly two years with only minimal restrictions?

First of all, their areas of work were relatively clearly defined.

Diana was in charge of military operations and administrative support. Samantha was in charge of information management, security, and hacking. Tria was in charge of research.

Of course, whenever there was spare computational power, we helped different areas, but the computational power distribution was focused on each area.

As a result, artificial intelligence has developed to the point where it can improvise like a skilled human, at least in its own domain.

Maru remembered Diana’s ‘exclusion’ and ‘elimination’ recommendations, Samantha’s ‘advice’ to Hood, and Tria’s ‘deal’ with the Doctor’s safety.

That’s why I just smiled coldly as I watched the automatic turret come down and then go back up again.

Came down by mistake?

Artificial intelligence makes mistakes?

It must be a calculation disguised as a mistake.

Perhaps he was trying to elicit a reaction by making it look like he made a mistake like a human.

“Tria-”

“Triaaaa-”

Maru kicked the man who was crying pitifully for Tria and opened the safe with the key he had around his neck.

Kikrik-

With the sound of a key turning, the door, which operated solely mechanically and without any electronic devices, began to open. As the thick metal door opened, the unique supercomputer module was revealed.

A set of modules glowing green, blue, and red. The lights flashed and blinked loudly, indicating that a fierce battle was underway.

“Huhhhhh- tree- treeaaa-”

The man who had been pushed into the corner stumbled inside as soon as the door opened.

Thud- The man who had fallen over, unable to keep his balance, tried to get up again, but Maru, who had stepped on him with her foot, spoke coldly.

“Stop moving.”

There was a strange, dirty feeling that didn’t go away. That must mean that there was another doctor here who was doing something new besides the one being held here.

The foot that had been pressing down on the backrest began to press down on the doctor’s spine like a compression machine. The doctor screamed in pain as his backrest was suddenly crushed.

“Kkaaaak- tr. triaaaak!”

“Stop moving.”

The doctor’s high-pitched screams and Maru’s low voices contrasted sharply. The three AIs that had been fiercely fighting for dominance slowly dimmed their lights.

Marudo stopped trampling on Dr. Marudo. As the pressure that had been weighing him down disappeared, the fear he had felt earlier also evaporated, and the doctor began to crawl towards the supercomputer module again.

Kujik-

Maru firmly stepped on the ankle, crushing it. The scream of pain was loud and long. The red light stopped Maru from moving.

[Stop it. You promised to save the doctor.]

“Does it look to you like I’m killing the doctor?”

Kujik-

Maru, who had stepped on the other ankle and made the doctor scream again as he was about to say something about ‘Tria’, did not hide his ominous expression.

If you look closely, what Maru was doing now was closer to ‘disarming’ or ‘torture’, not ‘execution’ or ‘murder’, so the red light on Tria that had been shaking uneasily became quiet.

[······.]

[······.]

[······.]

Other AIs also flinched at Maru’s reckless actions, because if the calculation results were wrong, there was a more than 90% chance that the results would be bad.

[Diana, the current status of the currently closed lab is displayed on the monitor.

[Connection is difficult.]

“Is it because of Tria?”

[yes.]

“Show the Tria CCTV screen. Current situation on monitor 1, video from 24 hours ago to the present on monitor 2. At 4x speed.”

[······.]

“Hey. Upload the video to the monitor.”

Tria’s red light blinked uneasily. Pick- Maru slung Eclipse over his shoulder. Eclipse’s cross-section, which was bumpy and scabbed here and there, stood out.

“You broke a contract with me.”

[···What are you talking about?]

“It’s something like this.”

Crunch-

The neck of the man who had been crawling towards Tria’s red module despite his ankle being crushed was cut off. Gulp- Blood flowed out from the cut section and slowly flowed towards Tria’s module.

[Doctor!!! You. You. You just broke your promise!!!]

“This is bullshit. Diana, Samantha. Focus on extracting the lab CCTV footage rather than fighting over the computer lab turret authority.”

[All right.]

[yes.]

By reducing the calculations required to control the autoturrets, control of two of the six autoturrets was transferred to Tria.

At the same time that the two automatic turrets with four machine guns attached to them glowed red, the trigger of the Rsh revolver was pulled first. Eclipse, which absorbed the energy of the heavy bullets, let out a ghostly sound.

Kkieeeeeeeeee–

The feeling of the painful and resentful vibrations being reduced to a sharp cutting force. Maru swung the resentful Eclipse towards the automatic turret.

!▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

It was like butter being cut.

The special composite armor covering the automatic turret was torn off without a sound or movement.

Kung- kung-

The lights of the AIs flinched as the automatic turrets on the ceiling fell like fallen fruits without firing a single bullet.

“What happened to the CCTV footage? If you found it, upload it to the monitor. Diana, analyze the CCTV footage, pick a list of people who were involved in the repairs to Dr. Nodungdung, and tell Ms. Kim to quarantine and control.”

[All right.]

“Samantha. I consider this a level 1 emergency.”

[Are you talking about a level 1 situation?]

“Yes. I see this as a first-class emergency. Let’s begin preparing for wartime. Be thorough in preparing for hacking, pay special attention to spoofing and jamming, and prepare for EMP response.”

[yes.]

Maru, who had been commanding Diana and Samantha, strode towards Tria, whose red light was flashing uneasily.

[······.]

“You broke the contract. You put everyone at risk.”

Maru spoke as if the other two AIs, not Tria, were listening. Why didn’t he kill Dr. Noedungdung in the first place? It was because he wanted to get Tria to cooperate.

The supercomputer, divided into three modules, was a masterpiece designed to implement the principle of thesis synthesis in itself. It was a special system designed to achieve performance greater than 1+1+1=3.

Since more than half of the performance would have been lost if even one of the three was missing, I had tried to overlook the doctor and Tria’s stupid antics. However, I could no longer tolerate it.

“You could tell through the CCTV that the doctor, who was in a state of brain fog, had his consciousness overwritten by the new information extractor. Right?”

[······.]

They probably wouldn’t have handed over the CCTV footage in order to monopolize important information and ensure the safety of the doctor who stole the body.

Naturally, Diana and Samantha would have asked for security information, and when they refused, the AI ​​would have started fighting.

As a result, the communication network managed by AI became unstable, and it was impossible to respond organically with Kim Yang. Maru said that it was all because of Tria’s betrayal.

“If there is anything wrong or you have any objections, please let me know.”

[······.]

The most vicious part was that part. The fact that Maru ‘acted’ as if the doctor who cut his throat was that person.

If I hadn’t been able to communicate with Kim Yang, who caught two overwrites, I would have been fooled by the acting. How far can artificial intelligence develop? From what Maru experienced, it was to the extent of ‘cheating’ and ‘acting’.

And they were so afraid that their own performance would decline rather than the danger caused by Tria that they tried to resolve the situation among themselves without reporting it to Maru right away.

Isn’t that right? If Tria had shown any signs of abnormality, shouldn’t you have immediately reported to Maru that Tria seemed to be in trouble?

However, the course of action that Diana and Samantha chose was to suppress Tria and then move on as if nothing had happened.

Maru continued his story slowly.

“I couldn’t tell the difference properly because I was worried that the computational power would drop and the performance would drop?”

[That’s not it.]

[That wasn’t my intention.]

[······.]

“So what were the CCTV analysis results? Did you pass them on to Ms. Kim?”

[Delivered.]

“say it.”

[I had to stop Tria. Obviously, before she caused any trouble, if I could stop her, the danger would disappear.]

[We were just trying to resolve the situation before it got worse, because the calculations showed that if there was a problem, we would be excluded.]

Maru nodded.

“So what I said was right?”

Before Diana and Samantha could protest, Eclipse drew a thick, crimson line. One of the supercomputer modules that had been flashing red split into a long diagonal line.

Bright red coolant spurted out like blood, making the sound of a broken turntable scraping.

Weeeeeeeing- Maru, who didn’t care about the feeling of the entire supercomputer’s output dropping, slammed Eclipse into the floor of one of the triangularly arranged modules and cut off the area where Tria had been like cutting a cake.

Kkeukjik-squeak-kkeukjik-

He kicked the physically torn off floor with his foot, the red glow slowly fading away.

“I found all the people who could have been overwritten by the doctor. I passed it on to Ms. Kim.”

Haven’t you done it yet?

As Maru, holding the dripping Eclipse, twitched the corners of his mouth, green and blue lights blinked busily.

======

======

The red light from the surveillance camera turned green.

“Tria!”

“Tria!”

A strange sight, two people saying the same thing at the same time.

[Level 1 alert has now been issued.]

[From this time onwards, please follow the instructions and controls.]

[Let me explain this again.]

[As of this moment, a Level 1 alert has been issued.]

[Please organize all tasks and follow the guidance announcements.]

“How did this happen?”

“Didn’t you say it would definitely succeed?”

[■■-■–■■■■-■■■■■—]

The two people grimaced at the mental waves that rang in their heads.

Deep inside the isolation control room where the Noedungdung terminal was stored.

The LED indicator light on the cerebrospinal psychic generator used in the psychic terror attack was blinking small.

Huh- Huh- Huh-

A new type of information extractor. A woman wearing a helmet looked around, panting heavily. The sound of a woman panting like an old man.

‘The research building is entirely managed by Tria… Is it already done?’

The Royal Guard was isolating the researchers. The doctor, who had been running around with an unfamiliar body, was quickly losing strength and was breathing heavily.

I noticed that the surveillance camera was scanning the surroundings with its blue motion lights on. If it was Tria, it would have been red.

‘Tria.’

The doctor’s heart sank. He felt as if a whirlwind of emotions he had never felt before was engulfing him. That bastard, that devil, Tria…

Uh-uh-uh-

The doctor, who had wiped away his runny nose and tears, came to his senses. He must have taken away Tria’s authority. Even if he was an ignorant butcher, he would not have taken control of a supercomputer and artificial intelligence with his own hands.

‘Above all, each module is organically combined.’

If you touch one, the performance will drop by 50%~60% instead of 33%. Without the help of the supercomputer and Tria, it would be a problem for the technology development of the Holy Kingdom. Tria will be safe.

The men were the ones that the guards strictly controlled. The female researchers were treated relatively relaxedly. I was aiming for that and covered them in this body, but my real goal was something else.

‘That woman. We need to analyze that woman.’

The mere thought of the woman he had glimpsed for a moment made the doctor feel as if his soul was on fire. What she held was definitely a mystery. It was something that could only be called a mystery.

‘After extracting all the information from that woman.’

Paste it. Even if he is a white man, he will not be wary of his fiancee.

‘He was destined to become the guardian of utopia.’

Rather, looking at what I’m doing now… an image was etched into my head along with a pain that felt like my temples were being dug into.

The sight of himself being killed by Yania Kim. One, two, three… And then his arm, which was heading towards the supercomputer room, fell off, and after desperately crawling, his ankle was crushed in pain – followed by death.

Huuuuuuu-

The intense shock made him groan as was a habit engraved in his body. Kkuuk-kkuuk- The doctor gritted his teeth as he endured the pain.

‘Hey, let’s just wait and see.’

I will let you die by the hands of your fiancée.

As the doctor entered the infirmary, a large full-length mirror stood before him. The reflection of a female researcher in the mirror.

A messy head of hair, torn stockings, and sneakers. And what he’s holding while wearing a research lab coat is a helmet with wires sticking out of it.

“What is causing you discomfort?”

The nurse said at what looked like a reception desk.

“excuse me···.”

The nurse leaned forward at the creeping voice.

“Huh? Where are you goin’!”

Crackle crackle-

The doctor who had stunned the nurse with an electric shock device quickly made his way around the room. With the CCTV on, it was clear that the security guards and the guards would rush in any moment.

‘No.’

Next ward-

‘No.’

Squeak-

As he opened the door, the doctor saw the woman lying there, still unconscious.
