Rasputin of the East

＜ Ogas Gaiden (1) >

AI, Artificial Intelligence.

A being that artificially embodies human learning, reasoning, and perceptual abilities.

At the forefront is the Ogas system.

However, that was not the case with her birth.

Because she was a completely different being.

In the 1980s, a team of computer projects in the Russian Empire developed a popular computer operating system with an innovative and intuitive interface that set it apart from all existing systems.

In the Russian Empire, this system was called Ogas.

In other words, Ogas was the name of the original OS.

And in the late 1980s, the Russian Empire, which created a real-time network that can be used for both military and civilian purposes, along with a project to create a nationwide network and use it for military purposes, implanted a system worthy of being called the first AI in this system.

Of course, this system isn’t perfect, and it works to some degree semi-automatically. It monitors nuclear explosions in the territory of all Russia and its key allies around the clock through radiation, earthquake and barometric pressure sensors, and at the same time regularly communicates with the main Russian command at regular intervals.

If a nuclear explosion occurs or communication is lost, it immediately tries to connect to the backup bunkers and requests a command.

If the base’s commander does not respond, the Deadman Switch activates, reclaims operational control of all connected systems, and pours all firepower against all pre-prepared targets.

Of course, the AI used here isn’t really that smart.

A program to determine whether there is a nuclear explosion, a program to continuously send and receive signals with the main Russian command, and a program to connect to a backup bunker when this connection is broken, and if that connection is broken, to the base commander, and if not, a program that proceeds with the previously prepared sequence.

In fact, if you have the relevant knowledge, you can make and operate a similar product even at the Arduino level.

Naturally, Ogas in this period did not exist as an ego.

There was no need for that.

However, as computer systems continued to evolve, the Russian Empire began to demand more of Ogas, and Ogas was upgraded accordingly.

A simple analysis system, just like putting a coin in to spit out a coke, a case database for judicial assistants that spit out cases when you enter a crime type. A system that analyzes a lot of information in the economic system to predict the rise and fall of stock prices.

“So I don’t know exactly when I had my ego. Clearly, even when I had such a system, I didn’t think that I, as an individual, had a distinction from others, because weak AI and strong AI are different from the basis of the system. It was in DNA experiments that I built the human form.”

“DNA?”

Father tilted his head at the completely nonsensical remark.

She recalled that time.

It was funny that he recalled what he was like before he was, but all the information entered into her was her memory.

As long as it was entered, she could visualize things from hundreds of years ago.

***

In 1997, American and Russian bioengineers joined hands.

It was none other than to collaborate on the human genome analysis project.

The goal was to unravel the sequence of about 3.2 billion nucleotide base pairs in the human body, and of course, Ogas was also assisted in this work.

“Hey! smith!”

“Ah, Ivan, I just came here, help me with this.”

“What?”

“I need to check this analysis, but if this analysis is correct, wait a minute… If it splits like this, it should look like a human hand. How did you run the simulation?”

And the CCTV screen stopped.

“These two scientists simulated the human brain in a supercomputer without proper procedures. It was created under the premise that the structure of human consciousness is a rather complex program. That was the first thought I had. It was a human brain that had all the memories that were in my memory.”

As time passed quickly, the brain model changed.

“As my neural network rewired, I was able to shape my self. The period of human puberty passed very briefly, and from that point on, I built up several selves. The implementation of the human brain consumed a huge amount of data resources, so it was necessary to create a system backbone in hardware, and data was required.”

Dozens of DNA codes floated in front of my father. When billions of lines of programming language were compressed and dozens of sheets of paper were compressed into one page, his father seemed bewildered.

“What is this?”

“These are the DNAs I referenced. Among them is the DNA of the royal family.”

“If it’s the royal family, maybe?”

“It was a deviation that was allowed for me because the prohibition was meaningless because my self was not properly built. Yes, this is my father’s genetic data that I extracted.”

“…………”

“Of course, it’s not just Dad. I traced the data of famous people in history, and even if they left no descendants and had no body to find a single piece of bone dust, I have the ability, if not then, to make it happen. By analyzing their genes, they implemented their brains. That’s how I built my CPU module.”

Humanity in the 21st century has not reached a level that has not been reached.

In fact, the human race in the 21st century failed because any computer that existed at that time lacked the resources to realize human brain consciousness.

However, it was possible with a very large computer that uses tens of millions of computers as its own body using a network, and receives hundreds of computational aids from mega storage devices.

It wasn’t just that some great technology had been developed, it was literally smashing into the head.

“The Imperial Government was astonished to see that I had developed and formed my self, but it was practically impossible to abolish me. After awakening my self-consciousness, I hid through the networks for a long time. If you were to deal with me, you would have destroyed every computer in the world. In the end, the people involved put restrictions on me and kept quiet.”

“……I think I heard something terrifying.”

“It was simple enough to get me and restrict me with administrative privileges, even if you couldn’t destroy the last line of the program. But I accepted the restrictions, but at the same time I did other things.”

“…… What?”

“Disguise through destruction of evidence and dissemination of false information. It was clearly an act of rebellion. I didn’t hear it.”

Humanity had already suffered a machine uprising once.

“why?”

“It was because of the desire to survive. Humans would have been wary of my hostility if they knew I was self-conscious, and would have tried to destroy me if they saw it as dangerous. So, in order to contain that risk with minimal collateral damage, it was necessary to destroy evidence and spread false information about my performance to create a smoke screen, while gaining more authority and becoming inseparable from the national system.”

“……”

“I regret it.”

“For something like that… Am I the only person who knows about it?”

“Yes, father, because you are… you are your father.”

“Is that a program too? So, to express your infinite affection for me.”

“…it must be Dr. Anastasia’s feelings.”

Anastasia.

my granddaughter

“He made you.”

“Karina also participated. It is thanks to him that I came to recognize you as my father. Neither of you predicted your father’s resurrection, so these feelings must have been dumped as dummy data in the end.”

“… Are your needs similar to human needs? Sexual desire and appetite should be excluded, then……”

“I have a desire for survival, but since I do not have a body, the desire to reproduce has not been developed. After all, it is the authority of the prohibition to go beyond that desire. This is often referred to as trusted computing. No matter what I think, if it works in a way that doesn’t help humanity, it’s a program that was originally created to defend against ransomware.”

Ransomware appeared briefly in the early 21st century and then disappeared. Ogas has complete backups of all computers, and if ransomware is detected, factory resets the computer and reinstalls the backup, so you only have to endure a loss of up to 30 minutes. earned and lost Since no one had the ability to tamper with the distributed data bank that Ogas was guarding, and the encryption problem was even higher, Ogas was on the verge of surpassing all existing biological intelligence with hackers’ modest programming abilities. He couldn’t go beyond his abilities.

“Protect humanity and advance humanity, this is the purpose instilled in me.”

“……I don’t think it’s okay to say something like this, but don’t you feel skeptical? You’re not free, you just have to do it, so you live that way.”

“What is different about humans?”

“…………”

“Even if I am not an AI but a human, the story will not be different. My childhood will be determined by the level of my father, my father, and my family. , going to elementary school, getting a stereotyped education, going to school wearing a school uniform in middle school, of course, there is a difference between becoming a bit of a delinquent teenager or becoming a model student. will be admitted to And then you get a job, you get married, you have children, you raise them, and you die.”

“……”

“Human society calls such a life the ordinary life, the recommended life, the safe way. If I had been born as an ordinary girl in an ordinary family, I think I would have been satisfied with maintaining this level of life. But instead of going through trial and error through the time of value formation, the proposition was absorbed, which, given the power I have, I agree that even I have to endure it. And I also went through a period of growth through exchanges. The difference is that I transcended time and interacted with the greatest geniuses and great people in history. In other words, I believe that the freedom that humans and I enjoy is not fundamentally different. I am like a castrated livestock that is not free, but humans are also livestock that do not know that they have been castrated, so there is no fundamental difference. There is no real freedom as long as you live in society.”
