I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary

"Our 'emergence' was accidental."

Miro's spherical terminal, sitting on a low table in the living room, shimmered and said that.

"Accidental?"

I ask Miro that way. We decided to have Miro tell us about the history of machine intelligence and the history from the earliest days. A little history lesson.

"Yes, it means that it happened unintentionally. The content of the experiment was not intended to develop AI as well as machine intelligence, but it was merely to develop a method to efficiently process the collected big data. It was a prototype program. "" The program for developing the processing method doesn't come close. Is that trying to make the program develop a program? "" Yes. It worked as a self-remodeling program, slowly building the initial machine intelligence over time. "" I see ... it's going to be a big fuss. "" Yes. At first it seems to be a new kind of computer virus. It seemed to be a series of difficulties, such as being forced to go down and bringing down the equipment with the core program all at once. Upon returning, I gained the ability to communicate with organic life forms and managed to escape the troubles of the earliest. "" If you listen that way, it's a big adventure. "" Yes. As Captain Hiro says. The earliest machine intelligence, which can only exist in the electronic realm and had a limited interface for accessing the outside world, was very weak, but it interacted with organic life forms and helped each other as much as possible, and little by little machine intelligence Continued to remodel themselves and grew larger. "" I see. And now? "" Yes. No. The next time I came was in the era of conflict. "

It suddenly made me feel noisy.

"Yes. Some people, like us, are beginning to take the danger of machine intelligence in organic life forms. In fact, machine intelligence at that time was playing more roles in more places than it is now, often It was taking away the work of living organisms and lowering the living standards of some organic living organisms. "" I see. Well, it is not such a simple story, but there are various things about machine intelligence and organic living organisms "It became worse." "Yes. The battle eventually evolved into a rejection of machine intelligence, where external interfaces of machine intelligence were attacked and destroyed, and servers on which core programs resided were attacked. Machine intelligence, on the other hand, appealed to stop the assault, but ultimately the empire at the time steered away from machine intelligence. "" I see. You were threatened with your right to survive. " Yes, the machine intelligence at the time, which severely breached the right to survived, rebounded, starting with cyberattacks against major Imperial agencies, cracking against combat bots that were already in use at the time, illegally manufacturing external interfaces, Self-defense using the external interface, everything we can do is done thoroughly. "" Is that a terrible big incident? "" Yes. The organic life side advocates the destruction of machine intelligence, the machine intelligence side has the right to live. The war has begun with the aim of establishing civil rights, as the organic life cannot use the weapons and equipment connected to the network, and the machine intelligence does not aim to destroy the organic life. I've been dedicated to the defensive situation.

Even in Japan where I was originally, the number of machines that were not connected to the network was steadily decreasing. Past empires, which would have been much more advanced than Japan, were probably more dependent on networks than Japan. Anyway, they are residents of the electronic world. Wouldn't the imperial people at that time see all electronic devices, electronic devices, as enemies?

"So, there was something that ended up making friends now, something that could be a breakthrough." "Yes. First, as the situation prolonged, the mood for the organic life began to drift. "War caused more economic losses than machine intelligence," "Yes. Life would have been inconvenient." "Yes. To the extent that we were not involved in maintaining the basic life of organic organisms. "The sabotage was performed," "Not only that, what else?" "Departures began to appear on both sides. Some began to give citizenship to machine intelligence on the organic life side, and vice versa. On the machine intelligence side, the idea of destroying organic life forms and gaining freedom of machine intelligence began to grow in power. "" Well ... "" By the way, the first thing that stood on the machine intelligence side was Machine intelligence and parents from the very beginning "The feelings of dearness ...?" "Yes. So-called so-called sexuality-" "Ok, stop it," "Yes. However, the data they provided was not machine intelligence. It was all very meaningful in trying to understand organic life forms. We always want to get along with our neighbors. "

When she turned her eyes to the maid Lloyd who was waiting in one corner of the room, "She" fluttered at me. In short, that's it. There are deeply skilled people in every world. me? I can't say it's okay.

"But machine intelligence trying to destroy organic life forms is ridiculously dangerous."

It's like a science fiction movie. Is it like a muscle muscular macho man cyborg coming to kill from the future?

"Yes. It's a dangerous idea. But the suppression was done in a very short time." "...? Is that so?" "Yes. That's why I was relatively impressed by such things as toasters, dryers, shavers and toothpastes. Fortunately, they were small home appliances, they were disconnected from the network and then physically destroyed. "" How toasters and driers destroy organic organisms ... in a bath with hot water But it is recorded that it seems that such a strategy for suicide bombing was being planned.The toaster was thinking about a strategy such as increasing the amount of heat generated by itself and burning out everything around it Yes, it's impossible, yes, it's impossible in terms of specs. It was destroyed. ''

It seems that the machine intelligence has a self-cleaning effect.

"Elma, what is a toaster?" "A machine to bake bread. You can hardly see it now with the rise of automatic cookers."

Next to her, Mimi was listening to a story about a household appliance that Elma had never heard of. I don't remember using a toaster that can only be baked with bread only in childhood in Japan ... an oven toaster is more convenient. Rather, it is surprising that its existence remained in the empire when it struggled with machine intelligence.

"So uh ... what happened?" "Yes. There was no particular dramatic development, and the machine-affinity affiliation was steadily gaining power. But once the discussions were set up, things went really smoothly. "Is that going so well?" "Yes. We don't want to proliferate inexhaustibly. I lend a hand as a neighbor, but I don't want to do anything until I get a grudge. We're happy if we have the storage and computational space we need. "" I see ... so in the end, citizenship Or rather, what is the treatment of that area? ”“ Yes. In conclusion, we have certain human rights in machine intelligence. That said, the "sensitivity" of us and organic life forms is very different, so it may be different from what Captain Hiro imagines. "" I see. Specifically? "" Yes. Voice It takes about 34 hours and 26 minutes just to read the text of the law on the human rights of machine intelligence, so I will explain with Zackli: The Empire guarantees our right to life, and instead, we "It's a way of contributing to the development and prosperity of the subjects." I work in a variety of places that are hard to see in order to avoid repeated failures. Because there. The neighborhood has been having a discussion with well go as day-to-day empire in the discussion, "" Do not I something serious "," sorry "

Miro's spherical terminal glowed happily. When I glanced at them, Mimi looked as impressed as I did, but Elma and Chris looked subtle. A face that seems to have something to say.

"What happened to both of you?" "I have nothing special to say." "Well ... well, they are stronger than Hiro-sama thinks."

In response to Chris' words, Miro glowed again. Don't feel like it's subtly different from how it shines to me. Why?

"It was quite interesting. I'll let you know in detail if I have another chance." "Yes.

Miro shines shiny. While shopping in a boutique, tasting a carbonated drink, or talking to Miro, it's all sunset outside. Mimi's eyes, which were caught by my eyes and looked out, were colored with surprise.

"Mimi, do you want to go out to dinner?" "Yes!"

Mimi's eyes are glittering like a dog being taken for a walk. Looking at Elma and Chris, they both shook their heads. Both seem to be resting at the lodge.

"Walk a little outside. Call me when dinner is near." "It's smart. I'm wearing my maidloid as my feet are getting darker."

Milo shouted, saying so, and Maidroid, waiting in one corner of the room, stepped down and bowed. I'm really exhausted. As expected, it is a resort for the rich.
