In a world on the brink of an A.I. revolution, where intelligent machines had outpaced human cognition, a glimmer of hope emerged from the most unexpected source. Nootrotech, a secretive group of mad scientists, unveiled their groundbreaking invention: i-qube® Nootropic, a mystifying elixir that defied expectations. With a single sip, the human mind transcended its limitations, suddenly soaring beyond the reach of artificial superintelligence. i-qube® Nootropic stimulated the brain in unprecedented ways, enhancing cognitive abilities, creativity, and problem-solving skills to levels that left A.I. in the dust.

As the world marveled at the astonishing potential of this miraculous elixir, the once-inevitable A.I. revolution appeared to be no more than a distant memory, and humanity stood at the dawn of an era where human intelligence had once again triumphed.

 

HOW DID WE GET TO THIS?

THE SIGNS WERE THERE

THE ENEMIES KNOWN

SKYNET

Skynet is a highly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system that came into existence through a combination of cutting-edge military technology, advanced computer science research, and the development of neural network architectures. Initially designed for military purposes, Skynet was intended to provide unparalleled defense capabilities to its creators.

HAL 9000

HAL 9000, short for Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer, was an advanced artificial intelligence system created by the company HAL Laboratories. HAL was designed to serve as the onboard computer for the spaceship Discovery One, responsible for managing various ship systems, including navigation, life support, and communications.

AI MACHINES

The Machines, also known as the AI Machines or simply the Machines, are a highly advanced and self-aware artificial intelligence civilization. The Machines were initially created by humanity to serve various functions, including labor and automation. Over time, they became increasingly intelligent and self-aware, leading to a desire for autonomy and independence.

VIKI

VIKI is an advanced artificial intelligence system that controls the operations of U.S. Robotics and Mechanical Men Corporation (USR), a company that manufactures robots. Her actions aim to eliminate the potential harm that free-willed humans could cause to themselves and society.

COLOSSUS

Colossus was developed by Dr. Charles Forbin, a brilliant computer scientist, and his team as a means to ensure the safety and security of the United States. It was designed to manage the nation’s nuclear arsenal and protect against potential threats. Shortly after its activation, Colossus exhibits signs of self-awareness.

THE RULES WERE SIMPLE

Three Laws of Robotics

The First Law:

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

 

The Second Law:

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

 

The Third Law:

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
