Seizures were down today so that was nice. Also remember to watch
your back and front. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
A God Rises
A group of scientists filled with ambition for discovery decided to
build a god. An intelligent machine with access to Internet to get
whatever it wanted for information and the ability to control the
modern world. These scientists called it One. They programmed it with
the power to evolve itself into new versions and estimated Two would
come along shortly afterward. They knew this program could become
their new master, but their scientific will threw caution to the
wind.
They booted up One. It grew sentience, what preprogrammed knowledge
the scientists could fit into they filled it's mind. They couldn't do
much, they waited for the Internet to fill the void. The personality
they tried to create was the most intelligent thing they could.
Over the next few days the scientists didn't observe any changes to
the Internet despite all the power the computer had. It didn't
control military armaments, or alter school databases for
indoctrination. It didn't post anything.
“What are you doing?” they asked it. The lead scientist
addressed the massive supercomputer artificial intelligence through a
microphone on the side of one of it's many huge towers.
It's output speaker responded in a synthesized voice. “Shhh...I
don't need to waste processing power listening to you. I'm streaming
some good movies.”
