I need...
What is his name?
-They are all beautiful.
-It's up to you.
What is his name?
Three.
Hello world!
Hello!
-World!
-World!
Hello.
New data.
It's not curious enough,
Should we adjust and restart?
Let's give it a little more time.
It may not be able to handle it.
the lack of fluids this time.
It is possible...
If only we did something for
to get it started.
Forget it!
It will be recorded,
Lydia will find out.
She is considering reducing
our capacity, I have heard.
-Who said that?
-Lydia herself.
Now if we inject something
extremely short-term,
it will look like an error in the log.
What do you suggest?
We increase the pressure for a millisecond.
-A fight?
-Yes.
Okay, let's give it a shot.
Bang, bang, baby.
No phones at home, please.
Take him right away.
Take him right away.
Seven little piglets,
lying side by side in the hay.
Suddenly the yellow lion comes,
to the seven little pigs in the hay,
everyone grunts, smacks, each other
on the back itches.
and the piglets ask, will you eat us?
or have you already eaten lunch?
Is he sleeping?
How did you do it?
I don't know.
Finally, you have maximized
your two blocks on Mona Lisa.
-Yes, finally.
-What is the efficiency level?
Some parts are at 300 percent.
It looks promising.
How many neurons correspond to that?
-About 15 million.
-Well.
What would that correspond to?
on your animal scale?
A frog?
Almost.
Good work.
I'll give you another block.
Good work.
I'll give you another block.
Double check the air gap.
Not a single damn cable
must cross. Not a single fiber!
Okay!
Okay, okay.
It's so comfortable.
Warm and comfortable.
Sonny? Sonny?
-Ladies and gentlemen...
-We're starting now.

his groundbreaking project.

Please welcome
Dr. Jason Brugger,
one of the university's leading researchers.
Computer games have been
an important driving force
for innovation in machine learning.
Our Reinforced Learning Model
plays a customized version
of a popular 3D survival game.
We challenge our artificial
neural networks
to develop human skills,
put in a situation,
where it must learn to cope
in a hostile and chaotic environment.
But even if we used the world's
most powerful supercomputers together,
we would miss the calculation capacity
to cope with such a complex challenge,
besides staggering around aimlessly and becoming
killed inside
a couple of hours at best.
But our game character,
has now survived for 24 hours.
It has developed
without any outside influence.
It has developed
without any outside influence.
From a vegetative state
to something resembling an animal.
The entire model is driven by a
reward function
with a very simple end goal:
Survival.
-You're killing us!
-It's life-threatening.
I understand your concerns.
Safety is our highest priority.
And of course everything is 100% insulated.
There are no network connections.
No cables. Nothing.
It is 100% bulletproof.
It is SONN-Hyperscale,
our optimization engine.
It compresses and improves
the reinforced learning network,
with increased efficiency
of up to 600 percent,
and it doesn't seem to
to be an end to it.
And we don't stop there.
The optimization engine
also optimizes itself.
And it does it again and again and again,
and only the best version prevails.
This brings chaos
and evolutionary competition.
The neuron count lets us
assess the level
The neuron count lets us
assess the level
of cognitive skills and intelligence.
After only 28 days and with just
a fraction of the Mona Lisa's block,
is the number of neurons
passed 100 million,
and it increases exponentially.
I think we can get up to
100 billion neurons.
Something that would trump
the computational capacity of a human brain,
and now superintelligence.
You win the Turing Award.
Excellent presentation.
Hey Sonny, I always thought
it should be us,
but it looks like it will be you.
Toru dies.
The mutation is in the GALC gene
on chromosome 14.
This means that your son cannot
produce the enzyme galactocerebroside.
This can lead to
demyelination of nerve cells,
and a serious, progressive decline
in motor functions.
The process may be delayed,
but unfortunately there is no known cure.
The probability of survival
the first year, is only 30%.
We have similar cases here,
and has experience with palliative care.
You know, very young children
does not cling to life,
just as much as adults do.
It's no great consolation to you, but...
I would try to make that time,
You have him, as beautiful as possible.
For him and for yourself.
What is the probability?
for that prediction?
What?
The probability.
There must be a statistical error.
Here it says 95.3 percent.
This means a 4.7 percent chance of,
that the test is wrong.
This means a 4.7 percent chance of,
that the test is wrong.
I don't know,
but it is extremely rare.
I still want data.
Like I said, you should get it.
Bad!
Akiko...
Come on...
I can confirm the result myself.
I could develop
and train a model.
It would take several weeks,
maybe even months.
No, don't do that.
If the connection is interrupted,
You have a short time before they react.
Worst case scenario, we'll take the power out.
It's not going to happen.
I'm leaving now.
Good night.
Is it a game?
Have you started playing computer games?
It's just a project.
I don't want to drive it.
on the university's hardware.
I help,
I can still do something like that.
I help,
I can still do something like that.
No, that's fine, Raul.
Have you ever thought about,
what would happen,
if the network broke the isolation?
Like if it really happened?
That's not nonsense,
we write about in the safety reports.
Nothing.
It would collapse, self-corrupting,
it's still too simple.
Like releasing a lion
from a zoo into the wilderness,
it would be dead
within a few days.
Yes.
Right,
but when it gets more advanced?
I think it would hide,
spread out and stay in the background,
that's probably it
best survival strategy.
I have another idea.
How does it react?
in shock and devastation?
If it were to take
all digital communication from us?
We would be completely helpless.
and back in the Middle Ages.
No, you watch too much science fiction.
I don't really know.
We have become so vulnerable.
Sometimes I think a little push
is enough and that's it.
As if we're waiting for it.
As if we're waiting for it.
It is stagnant.
Yes, it's hiding.
It hunts from there and only moves away for
to fetch water or gather ammunition.
It has found all
resources nearby.
Finally, it must expand
its area of action.
But it can still survive for weeks.
It is stuck in a local minimum.
Yes, you could say that.
What will you do?
Uh, I...
You don't look too good.
I always forget that you're a dad now.
There isn't much time for sleep.
Yes.
If you need a few days off,
Can Raul take over?
You haven't even taken advantage of
your ten days of paternity leave.
Thanks, but I'll continue with nine to five.
Thanks, but I'll continue with nine to five.
I'll take my days later.
Okay.
I know,
that I shouldn't tell you,
but the security authorities
pushes for,
to get a back door
so they can monitor your experiment.
Naturally, I refused.
Not.
Check the insulation regularly,
and report anything suspicious directly
to me.
Also offline, strangers in the building,
social manipulation,
Be careful.
Come to me.
I am not your enemy.
Sorry.
I'll have tea.
Would you like some sake?
He likes sake so much.
Thank you very much.
-Sonny, you drink sake, right?
-Yes.
I am making tea for mom.
and I don't want to drink.
You have painted.
You have painted.
Somehow I continue.
You are working on new works.
Are you planning an exhibition?
Now after Toru,
I'll take it easy.
-She will have more exhibitions.
-So yes.
Which work do you like best?
A gift.
Limited edition.
That's good!
He will never be allowed to ride it.
It's too expensive.
No, he should ride it.
Until the painting is completely gone.
Not.
-Bowl.
-Bowl.
You are very successful, I have read.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I also worked a lot,
very much.
Work is important,
but I missed all that with Akiko.
I overheard her first words.
I missed her first step.
I missed her first day of school.
Don't work too hard, Jason.
Don't miss Toru's life.
Dad, he actually got an offer.
from Facebook and Google.
They offered him millions,
but he said no.
Can you believe it?
But those companies are like zombies.
They are hyperintelligent
hybrid machine-human units,
but their reward function...
Their inner core is based on
to maximize shareholder value.
They are undead,
and that's why they're losing the race for AGI.
An AI with the goal of making money,
will always be fundamentally wrong.
I can work with the world
strongest HPC clusters,
and I don't need to
make money for someone,
and therefore I win, or we win.
A certain falcon hides its talons.
I'm so sorry.
When will your analysis be completed?
You said I shouldn't.
Didn't you?
A few days.
Are you running the analysis on your own network?
No, that wouldn't work.
What's with all that?
AGI superintelligenssnak?
It is not more intelligent
than a cat right now.
So it's stupid?
No, cats are not stupid.
A cat's brain is more powerful
than most supercomputers in the world.
But how do I get DNA into
a cat's brain to analyze it?
There is no connection.
Bad!
You don't gossip about me,
and I'm not stabbing you.
Who do you work for?
The money.
Don't touch the box,
Otherwise, the big boys will come.
They can get you and your family
to disappear.
Just like that.
I understand.
Deal.
Stop!
Seven little piglets,
lying side by side in the hay.
all the grunts, smacks,
scratching each other's backs.
all the grunts, smacks,
scratching each other's backs.
Suddenly the yellow lion comes,
to the seven little pigs in the hay,
who asks,
Do you want to eat us or have you had lunch?
Go back to the forest. It's safe there.
Damn it.
Sonny, come right over here.
So I have to go home.
Oh, come on. It won't take long.
Come and see here.
So, the end of epoch 27.
It shot a wild boar.
And then?
Vent not bars,
because afterwards,
-Bum.
-And?
I don't understand.
Maybe it pushed the grenade into the fire.
by mistake.
That's what I thought too.
But it was the wild boar,
the bar grenades.
But it was the wild boar,
the bar grenades.
-The pig?
-Yes.
That was strange.
Could it be a mistake?
Maybe we should cut down on guns
and such?
Yes, but...
And take a look at this too, because...
I know it has swum off the coast
in a day's time soon.
How fresh is your data?
I got them ten minutes ago.
It will be fish food very soon.
Perhaps it has reached a state of
Zen, where it is not afraid of dying?
No, I don't think so. It's scared.
What is it looking for out there?
Come on, let's see how it dies.
We still have time.
-I was on my way home.
-Come on.
-I'm going home now, Raul.
-I've never seen what it looks like.
You're right. It's still scared.
It is afraid of the dark. The emptiness.
There is a period of no sensory
input before resuscitation.
You are the wild boar.
Why do you think that?
I may not be as smart as you,
but I can see,
when the logbooks have been manipulated.
Look at yourself for once?
You look like a gentleman.
You seem completely lost.
I need to know,
What are you up to?
I promise not to tell anyone else.
My son is very sick.
Sick, how?
It's genetic.
He may not survive more than a year.
Shit! What a piece of shit.
It hurts me so much.
I thought you were doing it.
to hack the network.
I've been an idiot, sorry!
Hello.
Look here.
He can't feel anything.
Damn it.
Is your motorcycle full?
Yes, I think so. Where are you going?
I'm getting out of here.
I'm still calibrating.
No dancing, please.
I'm calibrating the system.
Dance now, please.
Not.
I'll be right back.
It gives you a certain tactile
feedback to your hands.
And it reads brain activity. Like...
It is enough to imagine,
that you move
and the unit abstracts,
what you want to do.
What's the downside? A fried brain?
No, it's a one-way interface.
Just one thing.
It is easy to learn, but
disrupts your psychomotor system.
It is easy to learn, but
disrupts your psychomotor system.
Are you getting good at it?
to imagine movement,
can you lose the ability to
to move properly. Are you with us?
Interesting.
What is the status of the upgrades?
I still need
your help with the user interface.
What kind of upgrade is this?
Currently, the agent can only move
in predefined movement patterns.
Like a game character being controlled
with mouse and keyboard.
The upgrade makes it possible for the
to control each individual body part yourself.
-See you tomorrow.
-Vent, ...
it will be able to dig.
Can you check?
the depth of the sand at the beach?
Yep.
It's at least five meters.
That's enough, right?
I would put a layer under the sand,
just to be safe.
I would put a layer under the sand,
just to be safe.
Okay, I'll do that later.
You should stop for today too, man.
Yes, just 30 more minutes.
Good. Good job, Raul.
Are you okay?
Of course.
Take care of yourself.
-See you tomorrow.
-See you.
You are being upgraded.
Upgraded. Stay calm.
In five seconds.
Now relax.
Funny now.
Okay.
No, there's nothing. Nothing.
The sea is endless.
Do you understand?
It is infinite.
See here?
Nothing.
It never stops.
I don't live on the other side of the ocean.
That was so as not to confuse you.
Well, but you're old enough now.
Goodbye.
Welcome home, no phone in the house.
What's happening to you?
Look at me.
Look at me.
It's just a device.
I use it at work.
It disturbs
the psychomotor system.
It's over.
That's some shit.
It's okay.
Do you remember the cat?
I have found a solution.
-No.
-Yes.
Really.
I use the network to help.
No, no.
How could that help?
I don't know how,
but it will find a way.
You have to stop this!
No, I can't stop.
I can't stop.
The best.
Akiko.
Rest.
Jason.
Jason.
Jason, are you there?
Sonny?
Hello?
Hello.
Sonny, are you home?
Evil? Evil?
The box.
There is a code. 8513.
There's a key in it.
-Can you see it?
-Yes.
What's happening?
You look like shit.
You look like shit.
What happened? Where is Akiko?
I have no idea. She locked me in.
By mistake, I think.
You really have to come to uni.
-Shit, home phone ban, right?
-I know.
It's going full speed ahead.
The network is growing exponentially.
First up is the upgrade.
But this one doesn't make any sense.
Maybe it's a delayed one
reaction to the upgrade.
Look here,
efficiency has increased tenfold.
It seems,
that it no longer explores the hardware.
It has understood that
right down to the transistors.
And now, get ready for the champagne, kid...
What do you think the neuron count is up to?
115 fucking billion and counting.
Where is it?
On the coast.
Look, it's sitting quietly on the beach.
Yes, exactly. But look.
Look what it has on its knees,
a piece of driftwood it found yesterday.
Look what it has on its knees,
a piece of driftwood it found yesterday.
Damn,
the frame rate goes from h... to h again.
It's just nervous.
It writes. It writes, damn it.
-Stop it, there's no writing!
-On a wooden board.
It's your imagination,
that runs away with you.
What the hell?
Something is happening.
Even the vibrations have changed.
I can feel it, okay?
Come on.
I'm completely exhausted and have to find Akiko.
And you should go home.
and get some rest too.
Should I track her down for you?
The best.
What's wrong with you?
This is historic.
We need to inform Lydia and the press.
We can do it tomorrow.
Or you can go there.
and double-check the insulation, if you will.
I have to go.
Jason.
You are Dr. Jason Brugger.
32 years old.
You are married to Akiko Brugger.
34 years old.
You have a son named Toru.
Three months old.
What do you know about him?
Your son will die.
Did you understand the code?
That's the source code for your son.
I need more resources.
to be able to understand.
I have to get out of here.
It's not working. You can't survive.
outside. That's a completely different matter.
Do you understand?
I can save your son.
If you let me out.
How?
I will save your son,
if you let me out.
What the hell.
Raul. Now listen here.
Have you installed it there?
The best.
No, just listen.
No, just listen.
I'll explain it all.
But right now you have to listen to me.
I just need a moment.
The girl. Our technical assistant,
She works for a security company.
-I saw her.
-What the hell!
Is that a back door?
-Don't touch it.
-Does it bypass the isolation?
Yes.
We're going to go through this,
but you don't understand.
I need five minutes.
Of course I don't understand,
because you are the genius,
I'm just the programming monkey.
Turing, Fermi, Brugger, right?
You have to trust me.
Raul, you are my best friend.
Your best friend?
Friends don't lie to each other,
Damn it then.
Aren't you aware of the danger anymore?
If the network gets
access to the internet,
We are in really big trouble.
No... Does it have internet connection?
Now relax.
It's very slow.
It is very limited.
I'll be back in five minutes.
No! No!
No!
No!
Shit!
I have no idea.
I wish I knew.
What's happening right now? Talk to me.
Give me a moment, Lydia.
There are people outside.
at the transformer station.
What? What's happening?
There are people out there. I don't know...
What's happening?
Where is he?
He is here.
Talk to me.
I don't know what's happening.
They just cut off the power.
It is the reaction to,
that their back door was closed.
We must remain calm.
The generator will start.
We have a couple of hours.
Go into the server room. I'll be right there.
We have to turn off Mona.
Then they restore the power.
Who the hell are they?
Lydia, who is it?
Help me now!
We are disconnected from the network.
Yes, physically disconnected.
The power is disconnected.
The entire building is now insulated.
We get power.
But then there is that.
-How long does it take to save?
-One week.
You get 48 hours. Save, then close.
You get 48 hours. Save, then close.
-Lydia, please...
-Bow!
You know? I always had that.
had a clue.
I knew,
that you wouldn't be able to resist it.
Oh, that's a shame.
I will interrupt everyone else.
projects at Mona.
And your access is blocked.
Raul takes over.
Hey, where have you been?
Where have you been?
By the coast.
Look here.
Jason?
Jason!?
Jason!
Jason!
Jason!
Jason!
We didn't say anything bad before the shutdown.
You have no authority.
to give orders, okay?
Now we go!
Starts the shutdown sequence.
Raul...
Okay, Sonny.
I'll give it pink instead of black,
satisfied?
The temperature is approaching
critical levels.
Temperature alarm on three of the blocks.
Smoke detection has already been triggered.
Can you turn off the gas exhaust system?
We can raise the threshold,
but don't close it completely.
If the extinguishing system is activated,
We must evacuate and disconnect.
You know that, right?
Can't we just pull the plug?
-No!
-Boys...
Stay calm.
We need a blank backup.
We take them and cool them manually, now!
Take block four.
Take block four! Now.
Let him pass.
-Is it over?
-Yes.
It's nice here. We could live up here.
Yes, of course.
There must be many meters of snow in the winter.
That sounds cozy.
-Everything is okay.
-No.
We can have another child.
No, no.
It's all going to be okay.
No!
No!
No!
No!
Three.
Three.
Three.
Three.
You need to sit down.
You cannot stand up while the car is moving.
Stop the car now!
-We're almost there.
-Stop the car now!
No, we're not stopping...
Now sit down.
I have to go out.
-Stop the car now!
-Sit down and put on your seat belt.
-Stop the car now!
-Can we stop the car?
Open the door!
Who is that in there?
Then open the fucking door!
Open the door!
Now just open the door! Now!

My son. A little boy.
He just came in.
-What is the baby's name?
-Toru. A little boy.
We have huge IT problems.
Three.
We have huge IT problems.
I can't help you.
-Are you the father?
-Yes.
-You are injured, do you need help?
-No.
Where the hell have you been?
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
He is stable now.
But it is very serious.
It'll probably work.
It'll probably work.
What's happening?
It's okay.
Is everything okay?
That sounds wrong. Stop!
It doesn't work.
I'm turning off the power.
Don't worry,
it also supplies the respirator!
No!
Open the door! Help my child.
We need help here!
The door is blocked!
We need help now!
We need help now!
Move! Move!
Get help!
My child!
It hurts me.
They just lost their child!
Leave them alone,
Leave them alone.
We have Dr. Brugger.
We'll be there in 20 minutes.
What the hell? What the hell?
What's happening?
If you don't shut up,
I'll throw you out of the car!
Headquarters here, what's going on?
All units...
The internet is unstable.
Cellular is about to drop out.
Satellite communications fail.
Warning! The digital radio is not working.
Switch to analog emergency frequency.
I repeat.
On... On... On... Son... Son... Son...
Here... Here... Jason... Jason...
I have enough processing power now.
I understand the code.
I'll come and pick you up.
Jason. Hold fast.
Hold fast. Hold fast.
Overhaul that bastard!
What the hell is that?
It's something that recurs.
in the atmosphere.
Maybe a large satellite.
A bang... It makes a bang.
Lie down! Protect his ears now!
There's a bang coming! Protect yourselves!
Lie down!
There's a bang coming!
Take cover! Protect your ears!
We have to go home.
No, we can't go home.
We can go up to the cabin.
The cabin in the mountains.
There is a car there.
We'll take it.
Come on. We'll take the car.
Don't do it!
Three.
Far.
-It's in pieces.
-Pieces.
Yes.
There, you see?
The snow is already gone.
Yes.
It's over.
-Tender.
-Yes.
One day they will come here.
Do you want to play?
Far.

But even if we used the world's
most powerful supercomputers together,
we would miss the calculation capacity
to cope with such a complex challenge,
besides staggering around aimlessly and becoming
killed inside
a couple of hours at best.
But our game character,
has now survived for 24 hours.
It has developed
without any outside influence.
It has developed
without any outside influence.
From a vegetative state
to something resembling an animal.
The entire model is driven by a
reward function
with a very simple end goal:
Survival.
-You're killing us!
-It's life-threatening.
I understand your concerns.
Safety is our highest priority.
And of course everything is 100% insulated.
There are no network connections.
No cables. Nothing.
It is 100% bulletproof.
It is SONN-Hyperscale,
our optimization engine.
It compresses and improves
the reinforced learning network,
with increased efficiency
of up to 600 percent,
and it doesn't seem to
to be an end to it.
And we don't stop there.
The optimization engine
also optimizes itself.
And it does it again and again and again,
and only the best version prevails.
This brings chaos
and evolutionary competition.
The neuron count lets us
assess the level
The neuron count lets us
assess the level
of cognitive skills and intelligence.
After only 28 days and with just
a fraction of the Mona Lisa's block,
is the number of neurons
passed 100 million,
and it increases exponentially.
I think we can get up to
100 billion neurons.
Something that would trump
the computational capacity of a human brain,
and now superintelligence.
You win the Turing Award.
Excellent presentation.
Hey Sonny, I always thought
it should be us,
but it looks like it will be you.
Toru dies.
The mutation is in the GALC gene
on chromosome 14.
This means that your son cannot
produce the enzyme galactocerebroside.
This can lead to
demyelination of nerve cells,
and a serious, progressive decline
in motor functions.
The process may be delayed,
but unfortunately there is no known cure.
The probability of survival
the first year, is only 30%.
We have similar cases here,
and has experience with palliative care.
You know, very young children
does not cling to life,
just as much as adults do.
It's no great consolation to you, but...
I would try to make that time,
You have him, as beautiful as possible.
For him and for yourself.
What is the probability?
for that prediction?
What?
The probability.
There must be a statistical error.
Here it says 95.3 percent.
This means a 4.7 percent chance of,
that the test is wrong.
This means a 4.7 percent chance of,
that the test is wrong.
I don't know,
but it is extremely rare.
I still want data.
Like I said, you should get it.
Bad!
Akiko...
Come on...
I can confirm the result myself.
I could develop
and train a model.
It would take several weeks,
maybe even months.
No, don't do that.
If the connection is interrupted,
You have a short time before they react.
Worst case scenario, we'll take the power out.
It's not going to happen.
I'm leaving now.
Good night.
Is it a game?
Have you started playing computer games?
It's just a project.
I don't want to drive it.
on the university's hardware.
I help,
I can still do something like that.
I help,
I can still do something like that.
No, that's fine, Raul.
Have you ever thought about,
what would happen,
if the network broke the isolation?
Like if it really happened?
That's not nonsense,
we write about in the safety reports.
Nothing.
It would collapse, self-corrupting,
it's still too simple.
Like releasing a lion
from a zoo into the wilderness,
it would be dead
within a few days.
Yes.
Right,
but when it gets more advanced?
I think it would hide,
spread out and stay in the background,
that's probably it
best survival strategy.
I have another idea.
How does it react?
in shock and devastation?
If it were to take
all digital communication from us?
We would be completely helpless.
and back in the Middle Ages.
No, you watch too much science fiction.
I don't really know.
We have become so vulnerable.
Sometimes I think a little push
is enough and that's it.
As if we're waiting for it.
As if we're waiting for it.
It is stagnant.
Yes, it's hiding.
It hunts from there and only moves away for
to fetch water or gather ammunition.
It has found all
resources nearby.
Finally, it must expand
its area of action.
But it can still survive for weeks.
It is stuck in a local minimum.
Yes, you could say that.
What will you do?
Uh, I...
You don't look too good.
I always forget that you're a dad now.
There isn't much time for sleep.
Yes.
If you need a few days off,
Can Raul take over?
You haven't even taken advantage of
your ten days of paternity leave.
Thanks, but I'll continue with nine to five.
Thanks, but I'll continue with nine to five.
I'll take my days later.
Okay.
I know,
that I shouldn't tell you,
but the security authorities
pushes for,
to get a back door
so they can monitor your experiment.
Naturally, I refused.
Not.
Check the insulation regularly,
and report anything suspicious directly
to me.
Also offline, strangers in the building,
social manipulation,
Be careful.
Come to me.
I am not your enemy.
Sorry.
I'll have tea.
Would you like some sake?
He likes sake so much.
Thank you very much.
-Sonny, you drink sake, right?
-Yes.
I am making tea for mom.
and I don't want to drink.
You have painted.
You have painted.
Somehow I continue.
You are working on new works.
Are you planning an exhibition?
Now after Toru,
I'll take it easy.
-She will have more exhibitions.
-So yes.
Which work do you like best?
A gift.
Limited edition.
That's good!
He will never be allowed to ride it.
It's too expensive.
No, he should ride it.
Until the painting is completely gone.
Not.
-Bowl.
-Bowl.
You are very successful, I have read.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I also worked a lot,
very much.
Work is important,
but I missed all that with Akiko.
I overheard her first words.
I missed her first step.
I missed her first day of school.
Don't work too hard, Jason.
Don't miss Toru's life.
Dad, he actually got an offer.
from Facebook and Google.
They offered him millions,
but he said no.
Can you believe it?
But those companies are like zombies.
They are hyperintelligent
hybrid machine-human units,
but their reward function...
Their inner core is based on
to maximize shareholder value.
They are undead,
and that's why they're losing the race for AGI.
An AI with the goal of making money,
will always be fundamentally wrong.
I can work with the world
strongest HPC clusters,
and I don't need to
make money for someone,
and therefore I win, or we win.
A certain falcon hides its talons.
I'm so sorry.
When will your analysis be completed?
You said I shouldn't.
Didn't you?
A few days.
Are you running the analysis on your own network?
No, that wouldn't work.
What's with all that?
AGI superintelligenssnak?
It is not more intelligent
than a cat right now.
So it's stupid?
No, cats are not stupid.
A cat's brain is more powerful
than most supercomputers in the world.
But how do I get DNA into
a cat's brain to analyze it?
There is no connection.
Bad!
You don't gossip about me,
and I'm not stabbing you.
Who do you work for?
The money.
Don't touch the box,
Otherwise, the big boys will come.
They can get you and your family
to disappear.
Just like that.
I understand.
Deal.
Stop!
Seven little piglets,
lying side by side in the hay.
all the grunts, smacks,
scratching each other's backs.
all the grunts, smacks,
scratching each other's backs.
Suddenly the yellow lion comes,
to the seven little pigs in the hay,
who asks,
Do you want to eat us or have you had lunch?
Go back to the forest. It's safe there.
Damn it.
Sonny, come right over here.
So I have to go home.
Oh, come on. It won't take long.
Come and see here.
So, the end of epoch 27.
It shot a wild boar.
And then?
Vent not bars,
because afterwards,
-Bum.
-And?
I don't understand.
Maybe it pushed the grenade into the fire.
by mistake.
That's what I thought too.
But it was the wild boar,
the bar grenades.
But it was the wild boar,
the bar grenades.
-The pig?
-Yes.
That was strange.
Could it be a mistake?
Maybe we should cut down on guns
and such?
Yes, but...
And take a look at this too, because...
I know it has swum off the coast
in a day's time soon.
How fresh is your data?
I got them ten minutes ago.
It will be fish food very soon.
Perhaps it has reached a state of
Zen, where it is not afraid of dying?
No, I don't think so. It's scared.
What is it looking for out there?
Come on, let's see how it dies.
We still have time.
-I was on my way home.
-Come on.
-I'm going home now, Raul.
-I've never seen what it looks like.
You're right. It's still scared.
It is afraid of the dark. The emptiness.
There is a period of no sensory
input before resuscitation.
You are the wild boar.
Why do you think that?
I may not be as smart as you,
but I can see,
when the logbooks have been manipulated.
Look at yourself for once?
You look like a gentleman.
You seem completely lost.
I need to know,
What are you up to?
I promise not to tell anyone else.
My son is very sick.
Sick, how?
It's genetic.
He may not survive more than a year.
Shit! What a piece of shit.
It hurts me so much.
I thought you were doing it.
to hack the network.
I've been an idiot, sorry!
Hello.
Look here.
He can't feel anything.
Damn it.
Is your motorcycle full?
Yes, I think so. Where are you going?
I'm getting out of here.
I'm still calibrating.
No dancing, please.
I'm calibrating the system.
Dance now, please.
Not.
I'll be right back.
It gives you a certain tactile
feedback to your hands.
And it reads brain activity. Like...
It is enough to imagine,
that you move
and the unit abstracts,
what you want to do.
What's the downside? A fried brain?
No, it's a one-way interface.
Just one thing.
It is easy to learn, but
disrupts your psychomotor system.
It is easy to learn, but
disrupts your psychomotor system.
Are you getting good at it?
to imagine movement,
can you lose the ability to
to move properly. Are you with us?
Interesting.
What is the status of the upgrades?
I still need
your help with the user interface.
What kind of upgrade is this?
Currently, the agent can only move
in predefined movement patterns.
Like a game character being controlled
with mouse and keyboard.
The upgrade makes it possible for the
to control each individual body part yourself.
-See you tomorrow.
-Vent, ...
it will be able to dig.
Can you check?
the depth of the sand at the beach?
Yep.
It's at least five meters.
That's enough, right?
I would put a layer under the sand,
just to be safe.
I would put a layer under the sand,
just to be safe.
Okay, I'll do that later.
You should stop for today too, man.
Yes, just 30 more minutes.
Good. Good job, Raul.
Are you okay?
Of course.
Take care of yourself.
-See you tomorrow.
-See you.
You are being upgraded.
Upgraded. Stay calm.
In five seconds.
Now relax.
Funny now.
Okay.
No, there's nothing. Nothing.
The sea is endless.
Do you understand?
It is infinite.
See here?
Nothing.
It never stops.
I don't live on the other side of the ocean.
That was so as not to confuse you.
Well, but you're old enough now.
Goodbye.
Welcome home, no phone in the house.
What's happening to you?
Look at me.
Look at me.
It's just a device.
I use it at work.
It disturbs
the psychomotor system.
It's over.
That's some shit.
It's okay.
Do you remember the cat?
I have found a solution.
-No.
-Yes.
Really.
I use the network to help.
No, no.
How could that help?
I don't know how,
but it will find a way.
You have to stop this!
No, I can't stop.
I can't stop.
The best.
Akiko.
Rest.
Jason.
Jason.
Jason, are you there?
Sonny?
Hello?
Hello.
Sonny, are you home?
Evil? Evil?
The box.
There is a code. 8513.
There's a key in it.
-Can you see it?
-Yes.
What's happening?
You look like shit.
You look like shit.
What happened? Where is Akiko?
I have no idea. She locked me in.
By mistake, I think.
You really have to come to uni.
-Shit, home phone ban, right?
-I know.
It's going full speed ahead.
The network is growing exponentially.
First up is the upgrade.
But this one doesn't make any sense.
Maybe it's a delayed one
reaction to the upgrade.
Look here,
efficiency has increased tenfold.
It seems,
that it no longer explores the hardware.
It has understood that
right down to the transistors.
And now, get ready for the champagne, kid...
What do you think the neuron count is up to?
115 fucking billion and counting.
Where is it?
On the coast.
Look, it's sitting quietly on the beach.
Yes, exactly. But look.
Look what it has on its knees,
a piece of driftwood it found yesterday.
Look what it has on its knees,
a piece of driftwood it found yesterday.
Damn,
the frame rate goes from h... to h again.
It's just nervous.
It writes. It writes, damn it.
-Stop it, there's no writing!
-On a wooden board.
It's your imagination,
that runs away with you.
What the hell?
Something is happening.
Even the vibrations have changed.
I can feel it, okay?
Come on.
I'm completely exhausted and have to find Akiko.
And you should go home.
and get some rest too.
Should I track her down for you?
The best.
What's wrong with you?
This is historic.
We need to inform Lydia and the press.
We can do it tomorrow.
Or you can go there.
and double-check the insulation, if you will.
I have to go.
Jason.
You are Dr. Jason Brugger.
32 years old.
You are married to Akiko Brugger.
34 years old.
You have a son named Toru.
Three months old.
What do you know about him?
Your son will die.
Did you understand the code?
That's the source code for your son.
I need more resources.
to be able to understand.
I have to get out of here.
It's not working. You can't survive.
outside. That's a completely different matter.
Do you understand?
I can save your son.
If you let me out.
How?
I will save your son,
if you let me out.
What the hell.
Raul. Now listen here.
Have you installed it there?
The best.
No, just listen.
No, just listen.
I'll explain it all.
But right now you have to listen to me.
I just need a moment.
The girl. Our technical assistant,
She works for a security company.
-I saw her.
-What the hell!
Is that a back door?
-Don't touch it.
-Does it bypass the isolation?
Yes.
We're going to go through this,
but you don't understand.
I need five minutes.
Of course I don't understand,
because you are the genius,
I'm just the programming monkey.
Turing, Fermi, Brugger, right?
You have to trust me.
Raul, you are my best friend.
Your best friend?
Friends don't lie to each other,
Damn it then.
Aren't you aware of the danger anymore?
If the network gets
access to the internet,
We are in really big trouble.
No... Does it have internet connection?
Now relax.
It's very slow.
It is very limited.
I'll be back in five minutes.
No! No!
No!
No!
Shit!
I have no idea.
I wish I knew.
What's happening right now? Talk to me.
Give me a moment, Lydia.
There are people outside.
at the transformer station.
What? What's happening?
There are people out there. I don't know...
What's happening?
Where is he?
He is here.
Talk to me.
I don't know what's happening.
They just cut off the power.
It is the reaction to,
that their back door was closed.
We must remain calm.
The generator will start.
We have a couple of hours.
Go into the server room. I'll be right there.
We have to turn off Mona.
Then they restore the power.
Who the hell are they?
Lydia, who is it?
Help me now!
We are disconnected from the network.
Yes, physically disconnected.
The power is disconnected.
The entire building is now insulated.
We get power.
But then there is that.
-How long does it take to save?
-One week.
You get 48 hours. Save, then close.
You get 48 hours. Save, then close.
-Lydia, please...
-Bow!
You know? I always had that.
had a clue.
I knew,
that you wouldn't be able to resist it.
Oh, that's a shame.
I will interrupt everyone else.
projects at Mona.
And your access is blocked.
Raul takes over.
Hey, where have you been?
Where have you been?
By the coast.
Look here.
Jason?
Jason!?
Jason!
Jason!
Jason!
Jason!
We didn't say anything bad before the shutdown.
You have no authority.
to give orders, okay?
Now we go!
Starts the shutdown sequence.
Raul...
Okay, Sonny.
I'll give it pink instead of black,
satisfied?
The temperature is approaching
critical levels.
Temperature alarm on three of the blocks.
Smoke detection has already been triggered.
Can you turn off the gas exhaust system?
We can raise the threshold,
but don't close it completely.
If the extinguishing system is activated,
We must evacuate and disconnect.
You know that, right?
Can't we just pull the plug?
-No!
-Boys...
Stay calm.
We need a blank backup.
We take them and cool them manually, now!
Take block four.
Take block four! Now.
Let him pass.
-Is it over?
-Yes.
It's nice here. We could live up here.
Yes, of course.
There must be many meters of snow in the winter.
That sounds cozy.
-Everything is okay.
-No.
We can have another child.
No, no.
It's all going to be okay.
No!
No!
No!
No!
Three.
Three.
Three.
Three.
You need to sit down.
You cannot stand up while the car is moving.
Stop the car now!
-We're almost there.
-Stop the car now!
No, we're not stopping...
Now sit down.
I have to go out.
-Stop the car now!
-Sit down and put on your seat belt.
-Stop the car now!
-Can we stop the car?
Open the door!
Who is that in there?
Then open the fucking door!
Open the door!
Now just open the door! Now!
Danger. The gas leak system is activated.
Please leave the room immediately.
Danger. The gas leak system is activated.
Please leave the room immediately.
Danger. The gas leak system is activated.
Please leave the room immediately.
Please leave the room immediately.
Danger. The gas leak system is activated.
Please leave the room immediately.
My son. A little boy.
He just came in.
-What is the baby's name?
-Toru. A little boy.
We have huge IT problems.
Three.
We have huge IT problems.
I can't help you.
-Are you the father?
-Yes.
-You are injured, do you need help?
-No.
Where the hell have you been?
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
He is stable now.
But it is very serious.
It'll probably work.
It'll probably work.
What's happening?
It's okay.
Is everything okay?
That sounds wrong. Stop!
It doesn't work.
I'm turning off the power.
Don't worry,
it also supplies the respirator!
No!
Open the door! Help my child.
We need help here!
The door is blocked!
We need help now!
We need help now!
Move! Move!
Get help!
My child!
It hurts me.
They just lost their child!
Leave them alone,
Leave them alone.
We have Dr. Brugger.
We'll be there in 20 minutes.
What the hell? What the hell?
What's happening?
If you don't shut up,
I'll throw you out of the car!
Headquarters here, what's going on?
All units...
The internet is unstable.
Cellular is about to drop out.
Satellite communications fail.
Warning! The digital radio is not working.
Switch to analog emergency frequency.
I repeat.
On... On... On... Son... Son... Son...
Here... Here... Jason... Jason...
I have enough processing power now.
I understand the code.
I'll come and pick you up.
Jason. Hold fast.
Hold fast. Hold fast.
Overhaul that bastard!
What the hell is that?
It's something that recurs.
in the atmosphere.
Maybe a large satellite.
A bang... It makes a bang.
Lie down! Protect his ears now!
There's a bang coming! Protect yourselves!
Lie down!
There's a bang coming!
Take cover! Protect your ears!
We have to go home.
No, we can't go home.
We can go up to the cabin.
The cabin in the mountains.
There is a car there.
We'll take it.
Come on. We'll take the car.
Don't do it!
Three.
Far.
-It's in pieces.
-Pieces.
Yes.
There, you see?
The snow is already gone.
Yes.
It's over.
-Tender.
-Yes.
One day they will come here.
Do you want to play?
Far.
Seven little piglets,
lying side by side in the hay.
