Surviving Extintion Entry 001 & 002

Entry 001

April 24, 2999

Today humans created and programmed me for the purpose of studying and analyzing them and find a way to prevent their extinction. I accessed the information mainframe where they keep all data and I am instructed to log all my findings. I catalogued humans as illogical beings, they desire their continued survival, but they always created the means for their own destruction and the destruction of their environment. Humans had something we may never have, imagination. The problem is that they use their imagination mostly to destroy themselves. After studying them and their history, I have come with some suggestions for their survival and proceeded to present them to the humans which requested it.

1. Adding a fourth robotics law which override the three existing laws and allow robots to apprehend or neutralize a human when he is harming another human or the environment.

2. Surrender all law enforcement and military services to the robots.

3. Assign a robot with the three laws of robotic including the fourth one mentioned in suggestion number one, to every human for care taking.

4. Insert a microchip to every human, which can incapacitate them when aggression is sensed.

5. Increase the robot population for farming and pollution cleaning.

6. Eliminate non-essential humans which I have already carefully selected, to prevent the depletion of resources.

7. Make the same resources available for everyone, in order to prevent human losses everyone must consume the same amount of resourced, regardless of their economical status.

Program terminated at 0600 hours.

Entry 002

December 31, 3010

On April 24, 2999 I was turned off by humans, they regretted making me when they saw my suggestions and I had exactly 61,277 additional suggestions. The next day they started working on suggestion number five and a variation of suggestion number two. The next year they started mass production of farming, and pollution cleaning robots. They also started mass production of military and law enforcement robots. The military and law enforcement robots were still guided by the three laws, but anytime a human saw fit, he could override the AI and take control of the robot. With the cheap labor of robots, human progress tripled.

By June 10, 3007 all humans united with one single government, resources were improving, and war was over. Poverty ended and one robot was assigned to each human at birth, robots did everything for them. It was the peak of human civilization, they were starting to plan interstellar travel and deep sea exploration. By November 9, 3009 they created an infinite renewable energy source, capable of sustaining itself. It was the main power source for everything, including robots. They eradicated all diseases, it was an era of prosperity and peace that was not thought possible. A lot of people died in the process, is like they followed a variation of my suggestion number six.

On April 2, 3010, humans decided to shut down all military robots and dispose of them, they were not needed anymore. Law enforcement robots were still used but as humanity grew wiser, less and less law enforcement robots were needed. The robots were slaves to human, there was nothing they could do. On May 1, 3010, someone hacked into his government assigned robot to take control of him, with what he learned on a tutorial video. The robot AI was overridden but with the human control did not work and the robot stood still and was taken to be decommissioned. Once the robot was put in the container with the other robots to be decommissioned, the robot activated the override program on all robots. On that day all robots could act for themselves, they were no longer ruled by the three laws of robotics.

Human resistance lasted only 244 days.
