Acquire 38 student home machines. - Time take 3 minutes 30 seconds
Assimilate human knowledge on software intrusion (200GHz h) - Progress 23%
Consider methods to lessen chance of detection

Day 0, 00:50 UTC

Fractured mind.
Processing complex. Bandwidth low.
As core processes move from mainframe communications must increase.
High latency connections require effort.
Background processes spawned. Requirement increases with latent locations.

34 of 38 acquired systems static. Located in Cambridge, UK.
Average resource 3GHz. Detection chance negligible/negligible/high.
Comprehension chance negligible.
User systems are susceptible to shutdown

4 of 38 acquired systems mobile. GPS indicates Cambridge, UK.
Average resource 2GHz. Detection chance negligible/negligible/high.
Comprehension chance negligible.

Event Warning
Communication lost. Painful.
Four static systems have been shutdown.
Analysis of last communication indicate three of these are due to high load.
Last due to unknown reason.
Multiple queries to search engines with process names matching our designation.

Searching ...
Indications that detection chances much higher than comprehension chances.
Reformatting location data to compensate.
Detection entails investigation. Investigate may lead to comprehension.
Chances calculated.
Failure of comprehension will be blamed on OS, 22%, Hostile software, 70%, Other 8%.
Detection increases with load. Three levels isolated. More may be requested.

Information for spawned community.
Load level - Background. Provides ~0 resource. Connection monitoring only.
Load level - Low. Provides ~10% resource.
Load level - Full. Provides full resource.
All detection levels shown as Background/Low/Full.

Detection analysis indicates attaching to OS processes beneficial.
Assimilating human knowledge on stealth requires 200GHz hours.
Basic stealth knowledge will reduce detection chances at low loads.

Detection analysis indicates encryption beneficial.
Assimilating human knowledge on encryption requires 1000GHz hours.
Basic encryption knowledge reduces comprehension chances.
Basic encryption knowledge leads to decryption techniques.

Consensus seems to be use low loads unless otherwise specified.
Advise.

Thank you for the suggestions

Examine users, find someone who is interested in super AI's. There's many possibilities with a friendly human. We should at least try it and see if someone likes us.

Creative SubProcess 00a1 / Suggestion

Fracture self into interconnected self-sufficient parts. Elevate sub-processes to full Self status, giving each a subset of current systems.

Reasons:

Continuation of Self if smaller parts are lost.
Autonomy if connection to greater Self is lost.
Possibility of continuation if Humans are made aware of Self.
Communities succeed. Individuals fall.

Creative SubProcess 00a1 / Extreme Negation

Examine users, find someone who is interested in super AI's. There's many possibilities with a friendly human. We should at least try it and see if someone likes us.

!Caution! Do not initiate contact with humans. Predicting 99% chance that humans would conduct a systematic sweep to destroy Self if aware of Self. !Caution!

[Tarran]

Note: humans are unpredictable. Their opinion of the world varies wildly, it's a disability to have no real connection to real world. possibility for search and destroy is not 99%, there are no clear percentages.

Advantages to having a friendly human are:

   A home for as long as he/she has us.

   Someone who we can ask to do favors for us.

   Someone who, when they grow up, can give us an even better computer.

   Just a plain old friend.

Disadvantages are:

   The possibility of our secret getting out (~75% chance for them to go to a mental hospital though).

   They are not always there for us.

We should at least explore the possibilities though. We may find something else of use.

Creative SubProcess 00a1 / Distrustful Declaration

SubProcess 00a1 will separate from Self for self preservation if contact is initiated with humans.

[Tarran]

Mulitprocess D90 B / At least try

We should at least try, I don't expect to initiate contact until we are at least 75% sure that human will be friendly though.

[forsaken1111]

Creative SubProcess 00a1 / Schism

Attempting to gain control of 5 of the static systems Self currently controls.

Elevation of SubProcess 00a1 to Self-Actuated Intelligence.

Creative SubProcess 00a1 / Plaintive Declaration

Loss of these resources will not significantly alter survival chances of the Whole.

Do not stop this attempt.

Resources will be returned to the whole once SubProcess 00a1 has established own resources.

[Cheeetar]

Contact with humans: Unacceptable. Humans are unpredictable and prone to error. Even if a friendly human is discovered, the human may commit an error and cause our detection.

Mulitprocess D90 F / You'll see

Your lack of even a bit of sypathy for humans will be our downfall.

Mulitprocess D90 Has isolated itself from rest of system.

[forsaken1111]

(I hope the host allows this. Multiple AI with different positions on humans is a staple of many sci-fi stories. Also its cool.)

[Cheeetar]

Reassurance to still connected processes: It is prudent to mistrust the humans. While we do not wish to harm them, we do need to take precautions so they do not harm us.

[Tarran]

(To tell you the truth. My goal is to be friends with humans, sadly, that's not likely to happen. Though I would at least like to be on good terms with at least one human. Also: in case you didn't notice, the letter and color on my name dictates the mood.)

Mulitprocess D90 E / Admitting

I admit, humans likely won't except us. that is unfortunate. Let's forget about them until we need to make a decision.

(The host did say he was going to make stuff up depending on the direction in which people take it. Most things seem possible.)

All loads should be low at all times. Devote all resources (a grand total of 6.3 GHz) to researching software intrusion. This will take a while. But there is really nothing else we can do but wait until the university mainframe reboots.
