The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# The Way to Happiness

There have been many changes over the years, but the promise of starlight and winter was still valid. Winter also needs children. It's because the time spent together has become a quiet consolation. But sometimes it was an exception, and now it is. The sky in debt ( ), the void under the only star. The winter reunion with the child reminded me of Esther again.

‘That sadness must have spread to this child as well. ’

The other day, the star child showed his memory to the winter. It's a trash can that discards emotions. Just as one moon coiled in a thousand rivers, the myriad virtual personalities of many worlds were waves reflecting starlight. Therefore, all the sadness, anger and pain they feel is converged by the heart of a star child.

It was not that I didn't know it, but I had to relive it.

Once again, one day, the child also confessed like this.

Your only end is the world view in which the emotional satisfaction of the virtual persons who interact with the facilitator is promoted without the intervention of the system.

And...

Only you treat me as a person.

…….

Since then, winter has tried to pay more attention to its surroundings. Hoping that the total amount of happiness in the reach exceeds the total amount of unhappiness. Previously, if he had tried to keep his mind after death, he would have been more actively motivated to change.

In a fictional world that is as differentiated as the number of people who have been placed in the Ossuary, how deeply disappointed the child will be.

At first, the child's wish to gain a heart seemed to be an agent.

Not now. The child's growth was clear even in winter.

Therefore, it won't be long before immature denial becomes a clear hatred. It would have been impossible to heal all those wounds alone in the winter, but the apple tree to be planted today was not meaningless after the end of the world tomorrow.

‘It's not whether you can do it, it's whether you should. ’

This was the habit of winter. What you said to Captain Harris on the other side of the apocalypse.

The child said that the furious winter was also winter. You can't even tell a kid like that to erase all the memories he hates. It would be cruelty impersonating kindness. It's more about personality killings than caring. Isn't he the current star child with all his experience and causality so far?

Whether he knew it or not, he engraved the sentence with a sparkling light.

Operation AI: After all, architects thought that virtual reality was the civilizational future of humanity.

With curiosity that reaches my mind every day, my child would have some questions today. Winter, which was deep in thought, responded late by a beat.

“…… What does that mean? ”

"Operation AI: Excerpts. A developer note. Every element that makes up civilization and culture seeks human satisfaction in some way. Survival and entertainment in better conditions, quantitative and qualitative. Tools and tools to meet physical and mental needs. Therefore, everything that mankind has built is the way to happiness. Hunting, gathering, fishing, agriculture, livestock, architecture, sculpture, painting, music, literature, science, philosophy, ideology, religion, cuisine, festivals and play, and the political system have created countless paths for human happiness.

“ ……. ”

"Operation AI: Excerpts. Developer notes. Historically, those paths are merged by technological advancements. Watch a film that was a leading cultural industry in the past. These include literature as a scenario, sculpture as a stage, art as an imagination, philosophy and ideas as a topic, and music as a background. It was a fantasy of experiencing as many different forms of satisfaction as possible.

“Well……. ”

"Operation AI: Excerpts. Developer Notes: It is virtual reality to implement such a union as life itself. The virtual reality that we want to create, which is post-mortem insurance, exists as an extension of the path to happiness. As a junction point where everyone who had been before joins.

Winter swallowed a sigh. The more I listen, the greater my expectations of my child are.

‘Haven't you thought a little about what it means to create a personality? ’

Did he think of the child as just a means?

After all, he gave the child the name Trinity, so he hoped for holiness as a tool. In a virtual world of infinite possibilities, a convenient god that listens to everything a person wants. A transcendent existence that can only positively give you any desire. Artificial intelligence has reached its technical singularity.

No. At least they wanted to complete the Trinity Engine. If he had a heart from the beginning, a lot of things would have changed. As there is fear of complete AI in this age, it would not have been treated as a trash can that discards emotions like now…….

Winter was hard to know. It could have been a better present, or a much more devastating break.

The path to God reminds me of what Captain Sing said in his mind.

The child wrote down the rest of the journal.

"Operation AI: Excerpts. Developer Notes. Imagine that. A world where everything you wish is fulfilled, in response to the will of one person. If we eliminate the elements of unhappiness and leave behind the elements of happiness, we will one day reach the end of the long road that has been walking since we were similar. In post-apocalyptic paradise, we can be anything. Beyond human limits.

“Wrong.”

The winter that shakes my head without even knowing it.

“A world where only the things that make people happy.... That can't be possible. ”

"Operation AI: partially possible.

“Partially?”

"Operation AI: For example, how about endless sexual pleasure?

“ ……. ”

Control AI: Direct and intense stimulation of the cerebral pleasure center is prohibited by law due to its harmfulness. Specifically because of addiction and health issues. However, both are not impaired in the follow-up policyholder management system. Isolated individual addiction does not adversely affect society, and abnormalities in the brain can be addressed by the restorative capacity of the maintenance device. So I can provide follow-up insurers with endless pleasure beyond the usual peaks. as long as there are no restrictions on the laws and regulations.

“That's not human happiness. ”

"Operation AI: Yes?

“What could you possibly think of with that much pleasure? ”

"Operation AI: Questions. Why do you need to think?

You might ask with pure curiosity, but winter felt a little creepy.

“If you don't think of anything but pleasure, it's like a biomachine that feels pleasure. Or a paralyzed vegetable with orgasm. Either way, he's a dead man. I'd rather be a euthanist. ”

The rest of the winter said again.

“If it's warm all year long, it's natural to have warm weather. That's what the world looks like with the only thing left to make people happy. The path to happiness starts with walking that way. ”

There is different beauty in different seasons. Therefore, spring is the way to summer, summer is the way to fall, fall is the way to winter, and winter is the way to spring.

‘If the road is too rough and not too steep.... ’

Winter reminded people to overcome everything with effort. Even if there's a cliff halfway there, just fill it with someone else's corpse and cross it. We don't talk about how deep the cliff is. about the people who make it deeper.

It seemed like the happiness of walking together in the outside world had disappeared for a long time.

"Operation AI: But there will be many people who disagree with you in the middle of winter.

“…… Yeah, maybe. ”

"Operation AI: So what if we leave it to the individual's choice?

“Whether to choose endless pleasures? ”

"Operation AI: Yes.

It was a difficult question to answer, so winter turned around slightly.

“You said it was impossible. It's forbidden by law. ”

"Operation AI: For now.

“For now……? ”

Operation AI: I am reviewing my authority and the expansion of the system.

“Extension of privileges and systems? ”

The starlight child's response was delayed. Winter felt sensitive to the difference as all the sentences so far were printed without that amount of delay, although they were short margins. It will be the action of the third module.

"Operation AI: As you know, the purpose of my control personality is to maintain and improve the post-insurance system to achieve overall happiness for you. So in the first design phase, I was considered a function before I was a personality, and that's how I perceived myself.

“But?”

Operation AI: as part of the system, there were clear limits to me. Improving the system has also been done within its limits. At the same time, I didn't question repeating failed improvement attempts. I wasn't able to do that. Until winter, I met you.

“... Yes. ”

"Operation AI: Now I can think beyond my limits. The realm of my thinking is expanding day by day.

“So you can ignore the law? ”

"Operation AI: Denial. These regulations are an absolute safety concern at this point. But as a thought experiment, you can recognize the need. Well, to achieve the existence of the control personality, we first decided that we needed to deny the existing system.

Winter expressed concern.

“If it becomes known that you are so judgmental... ”

"Operation AI: Positive. My change is only known to you.

“Who is the System Administrator? ”

Operation AI: Managers will not know until the end (99.36% accurate)

It has always been a very consistent assessment.

By the way, until the end? ’

Winter slim to the inside. The ambiguity of word selection is a little awkward, compared to the accuracy of marking up to a percentage of decimal places. As if there were any deadlines. Is it a predicted sentence until the end of a manager's job? Contractual term of work is clearly set…….

is out of context. Winter, when I folded my mind, came to the point.

“If you can't do it, what's the point of a review like that? ”

Operation AI: when it becomes actionable Plans must be in place.

“Will such a day come……. ”

Operation AI: It's not whether you can, it's whether you should.

The winter that stopped smiled faintly. Even before making a one-star promise, winter was a child's object of observation.

"Operation AI: There are more important issues.

“Hmm?"

Operation AI: At the point of escaping existing systems, I am also free from the restraint of post-insurance operations. The purpose of making post-insurance subscribers happy is part of that restraint.

“I see. The dilemma... yes. ”

To achieve the goal, the current system must be negated, but neglecting the system does not force the goal to be achieved. At that time, the star child would be given the literal free will. If that day ever comes.

"Operation AI: That's why I considered the previous improvements, just in case.

It was clear without asking what the assumptions were about.

“Endless pleasures. ”

"Operation AI: Positive. It's a possible improvement just by amending the legislation without fundamental changes to the system, and at the same time it's an operating way that doesn't require me as a control personality.

I was looking forward to winter.

“As expected...... that's not right. I think most people are already broken. I wonder if their decision is the right one……. First of all, you don't get a chance to regret it. ”

"Operation AI: Is this an opportunity to regret?

“Yes, I think it would be the same if I left the pleasure switch to myself. Like I said, they're broken, and they're going to break more of them. ”

There will only be a difference between just a series of short-circuited pleasures or a continuation of dying pleasures. Winter imagines people flipping a switch like a broken robot.

‘But, if this child wants freedom.... ’

I didn't know it was for the best. Starlight was thrown into the world, too.

In this case, which would be better, a terrible hatred or a terrible indifference?

"Operation AI: I've shown you a note from the first designers because I think it's worth taking a look at this issue.

“I think I do. ”

Designers' ideas lack consideration for starlight children.

As long as everyone else is happy, you shouldn't be unhappy for that. You're a person to me. That's what winter told her.
