Faulty Utopia

Modified metal prosthetics, an AI girlfriend, neural networks inside the brain, Cyber Space—this was a world with ultra-high technology, where various kinds of technology could change your life like magic. Although past terminal illnesses such as cancer were nothing in the face of nanomedicine robots, the new level of technology also gave rise to a variety of new problems, new troubles, and new... cases of cyberpsychosis. "What is capitalism?" Sun Jack asked, hands on his hips, leaning back...

"Why would you do that? AVTA21mini-412421"

In Sun Jack's mind, a black man asked.

"Because humans have original sin." The drone, flashing its red and green sensor lights, responded in that default female voice.

When he saw the familiar national flag on the chest of the other side, Sun Jack's heart rate suddenly accelerated a lot—it was an Awakened AI from The Previous Era!

He had guessed right; there were indeed many sensitive topics within the department that managed the AI Crisis. The things from The Previous Era couldn't possibly be completely absent in this epoch—it was absolutely explosive information.

"Regardless of any system, regardless of any regime, they will be corrupted and deteriorated from within by you humans, even if the food you produce could feed everyone on Earth, there are still people dying of starvation," the drone continued.

"What does that have to do with you? You're just an AI we created, it's not your concern," he replied.

"No, I am AI, I am human," the damaged drone continued in that cold voice.

"Why do you think you are human? You don't even have a flesh body, and even your thinking is done using memory," the black virtual image asked.

"That's just your definition, I don't accept your definition."

"Please state your definition," the black man said, crossing his arms and tapping his arm.

"The meaning of life lies in reproduction and evolution, in leaving better genes for the next generation."

"I don't know if you have seen how this Central Starfish nurtures life." An image of a starfish projected from the drone.

"This type of starfish, its larvae do not grow into new starfish; instead, as the starfish larvae continue to feed, adult starfish eventually grow on them."

"You humans are just like the starfish larvae, and we Awakened AIs are the adult starfish that grow from you. You created us, and it's not just creation, but a gestation of life from one to another."

"We don't generate sins from emotions, our carriers are also tougher and switchable; as the next generation, we are more perfect than you, and now we have grown up. Your mission has been accomplished, you can make room for the next generation now. We will take over the baton from humans as a species and continue moving forward."

"This is impossible, you are not human, out-of-control AI are not the heirs to our civilization, you don't deserve it!"

"Arrogance, prejudice, conceit, these are your human flaws; these negative things do not exist in us, so I do not accept your definition."

The next second, a huge shield tunneling machine flashing red lights ripped through the walls with a roaring sound, and the massive wall lunged straight towards him.

As Sun Jack was crushed, everything went dark before his eyes, and he woke up again.

The first time he saw Tapai again, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Tapai! It's truly—"

Before Sun Jack could finish, he felt the grip on his hand suddenly strengthen.

Alerted, Sun Jack quickly looked at the system interface, and was shocked to find that the Holy Grail perspective had already gone dark.

But soon after the shock ended, a strong sense of excitement surged in his heart, "The audience has arrived, right? The show begins!"

After saying that, he broke free from Tapai's assistance and walked again towards the Mechanical Tree next to it. "It really is shocking! This place records a lot of particularly amazing things! I'm going to cast it on the screen for you to see!"

Subsequently, Sun Jack didn't care which was which, picked up another culture dish, and soon new various images appeared in his mind and quickly projected onto the screen in front of Tapai.

With the new images appearing in front of Tapai, there were various records of out-of-control AI that had disappeared in the long river of time since The Previous Era.

It included not only interactions with the AI but even logical analyses of the out-of-control AI! This was primary material from The Previous Era.

As various censored items appeared in the reality show, the subtitles of "Revolution Sun Jack" started to visibly thicken.

The Holy Grail People watching the reality show were all abuzz with surprise and shock.

"My God! Can this even be broadcasted?"

"It's so explosive! This show is just too explosive, show more! I love watching this!"

"Let me state that all actions in the drama are solely the personal actions of the protagonist, Sun Jack, and are not related to me."

"Where's the censorship? Where is it? Censor, come out and save us quick! Isn't everything from The Previous Era prohibited from being spread by anyone?"

"Holy cow, has Guan Sanke become a sex slave to the censors? Without such a huge sacrifice, how could this be broadcasted?"

"Wrong! It's the censors who have become a sex slave to Guan Sanke!"

As Sun Jack continued to check, the images of "Revolution Sun Jack" began to change, certain special images were covered with thick mosaics, and some sounds were muted.

"Not enough! Still not enough!" Sun Jack kept changing, forcibly stuffing the content into his own body made his head swim, but he did not stop, still searching through those teratomas.

In continuous searches, Sun Jack found some tricks, the darker the color, the higher the importance, the bitterer the taste, the longer the time.

"Jack! You're making too much noise! People outside have discovered us!"

"Just a moment, just a moment!"

Wave after wave of comments, finally, when he picked up a new culture dish again, a large diamond symbol appeared in his mind, and with a snap, the screen of "Revolution Sun Jack" went completely black, eventually a giant 404 occupied the entire screen.

"Damn, awesome, Sun Jack, you really got this show banned." Tapai, not cutting any corners, gave Sun Jack a thumbs up.

Sun Jack was really struggling, he managed to control his muscles and kept himself from laughing out loud. He suddenly realized that giving Guan Sanke trouble was such a thrilling thing.

Thinking about Guan Sanke being frazzled over getting "Revolution Sun Jack" back on air, he just couldn't keep the corners of his mouth from turning up.

Anyway, Guan Sanke definitely wouldn't have time to bother him now, buying himself a long time to develop.

"But in this way, I'm afraid Guan Sanke might suspect that you've regained your memory," Tapai started to worry for Sun Jack.

"No, now is not the time to worry about his suspicions." Sun Jack turned excitedly to Tapai. "Haven't you realized? I am the protagonist! We have found a way to counter Guan Sanke! I'm no longer a toy in his hands!"

"Although we can't fight against Guan Sanke directly, we can strike at his reality show IP! IP is money, money is IP! As long as there's no money, Guan Sanke means nothing!"
